A Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) is Required. The SOQ serves as documentation of each candidate’s ability to present information clearly and concisely in writing. The SOQ is not a resume or cover letter. Resumes and/or Cover Letters DO NOT take the place of the SOQ.
Applications received without an appropriate SOQ based on the instructions below may be rejected and may not receive further consideration, and may be excluded from the hiring process for being incomplete. The SOQ serves as documentation of each candidate’s ability to present information clearly and concisely in writing. Please note: resumes, letters, supplemental questionnaires, transcripts, degrees, your state application, cover letters, and other materials will not take place of the SOQ. Simply copying and pasting your resume will also not be accepted.
Your SOQ will be considered the first interview for this position. If your qualifications are competitive, you will be invited to a formal interview. When completing the SOQ, include all relevant experience, education, and training, as applicable, and explain all answers thoroughly. The SOQ must have both first and last name on the top left corner, and be no more than one (1) page in length. The SOQ is a narrative discussion of how your education, training, experience, and skills qualifies you for the position. The SOQ must specifically address the following questions in the order listed below and each response must be numbered to clearly indicate which question you are responding to:
1. Please describe the experience and specific qualifications you possess as they relate to the duties named in the duty statement.
2. Describe your experience developing and maintaining strong, collaborative partnerships and provide an example of how a partnership you developed contributed to the successful completion of a project.
3. Describe your experience managing multiple priorities and provide an example of how you were able to complete assignments with conflicting deadlines.
Write your responses carefully. Initial evaluation of each applicant will be based on the content of the answers and written communication skills demonstrated on their submitted SOQ.
Applicants who fail to follow these requirements or who do not provide responses to the specific questions in the order listed on their SOQ may be disqualified from the selection process.

Background Investigation Requirement
The position(s) may require an applicant to pass a background investigation. However, applicants will not be asked to provide information about a conviction history unless they receive a conditional offer of employment.
The department will make an individualized assessment of whether the conviction history has a direct or adverse relationship with the specific duties of the job and the work performed by the department. The department will consider potential mitigating factors, including, but not limited to, evidence and extent of rehabilitation, recency, nature and seriousness, and age at the time of the offense(s).
The investigation will consist of completion of a personal history statement and fingerprinting checks with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and/or local law enforcement agencies. Anyone failing to pass the background investigation will be provided information on how to appeal the process. A criminal conviction may not result in an automatic determination of "Not Qualified."

Merit System Principles
Information regarding Merit System Principles provided to public employees by the State Civil Service Act can be found on the CalHR website at https://www.calhr.ca.gov/Training/Pages/performance-management-merit-system-principles.aspx
The State of California is an equal opportunity employer to all, regardless of age, ancestry, color, disability (mental and physical), exercising the right to family care and medical leave, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, military or veteran status, national origin, political affiliation, race, religious creed, sex (includes pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and related medical conditions), and sexual orientation.
It is an objective of the State of California to achieve a drug-free work place. Any applicant for state employment will be expected to behave in accordance with this objective because the use of illegal drugs is inconsistent with the law of the State, the rules governing Civil Service, and the special trust placed in public servants.
