As a potential applicant, you are about to participate in a series of events collectively called the employment process.
Because the goal of the employment process is to obtain the most qualified candidates to fill City positions, examinations are administered to qualified applicants.
These examinations are conducted in a variety of ways (written, oral, practical, and/or performance), yet they share a common purpose - to test applicants based upon the knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform the duties and responsibilities of the job.
The employment process occurs in several stages which are described below:
Application:
Perspective employees must submit a City of Visalia application and other documents required as outlined in the announcement by the closing time specified on the final filing date.
Final filing dates and times are listed on the front of each announcement.
Separate original applications must be submitted for each recruitment/position applied for.
Examination:
Applicants will be evaluated and applicants who clearly appear to be more qualified in terms of knowledge, skills, and abilities will be invited to take an examination or combination of examinations.
Written, practical, oral, and/or performance examination scores, or a pre-determined combined examination score, will determine standing on the eligible list.
Exam Accommodations:
If you are most qualified for the job, but need reasonable accommodations to take the exam, contact the Human Resources Division at least five (5) days prior to the exam.
We want to work with you to design a fair and effective means by which you can demonstrate your ability to perform the essential functions of this job.
Be prepared to furnish proof of the need for accommodation.
Such proof should normally be a signed statement on letterhead by a professional who is qualified to make a diagnosis.
Eligible lists:
Eligible lists contain names, in descending order of score, of applicants who have obtained passing scores.
Eligible lists are maintained for no less than six (6) months and no more than one year unless otherwise determined by Human Resources.
The City retains the authority to reestablish an eligible list for a specific job opening when deemed necessary.
Separate eligible lists are established for each recruitment.
Selection:
A departmental interview is conducted with the top candidates from the eligible list.
The number of candidates interviewed depends on the number of vacancies.
Background Review:
Depending on the position, prospective employees will be subject to clearing a background investigation which may include, but is not limited to, a reference check, credit check, criminal history review, social security verification, DMV record check, polygraph, and psychological evaluation.
Post Offer Medical Examination:
Prior to starting work, all prospective employees are required to take a drug/alcohol screening administered by the City's medical provider and/or pass a medical examination.
Candidates are cautioned not to quit or give notice to present employers until the medical examination has been completed and passed.
Probationary Period:
Employees appointed to a new position through an open or promotional process are required to serve a twelve (12) month probationary period in their newly appointed position.
An employee maybe terminated without recourse for any reason and at any time during the probationary period.

S.
citizenship, alien registration or authorization to work in the United States at time of appointment, and complete an I-9 form.
