Exempt Positions - Exempt positions are exempt from civil service laws and rules, therefore, individuals are not required to go through the normal application process prior to appointment.  Interested candidates must meet the job requirements stated in the position announcement.  The exempt position announcement provides detailed information about the position and the requirements for applying.  This information is provided under the Special Requirements, Application Instructions, and Additional Information section of the position announcement. Completed applications and required documents must be received or postmarked by the Final Filing Date in order to be considered. While many departments choose to advertise their vacant Exempt positions on the CalHR web site, they are not required to do so, therefore, the listing of vacant Exempt positions on the jobs.ca.gov site may not be comprehensive.
