Follow this guide to learn about the steps to apply for a position with our department. Still unsure? We have dedicated recruiters who can help guide you through the application process and help find your career path with our department.</p> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h3 class="panel-title1">Links to topics below</h3> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6"> <ul class="nav-list"> <li><a href="#understand-posting">Understanding the Job Posting</a></li> <li><a href="#exams">Exams</a></li> <li><a href="#how-to-apply">How to Apply</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <ul class="nav-list"> <li><a href="#after-you-apply">After You Apply</a></li> <li><a href="#interviewing">Interviewing</a></li> <li><a href="#help">Resources</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2 id="understand-posting">Understanding the Job Posting</h2> <p>The job posting provides the core information about jobs at DOJ.</p> <h3>Job Control (JC)</h3> <p>The Job Control (JC) is a number that helps identify each job posting. This number is located at the top of each job posting as JC-######. If you look at the example below, the Job Control number would be JC-343819. If you are searching for a specific Job Control on CalCareers, only include the numbers in the search bar (for example, 343819)</p> <h3>Job Title</h3> <div style="padding-bottom: 20px;"> <img class="img-responsive" src="/sites/default/files/media/career-header-doj.jpg" alt="The top of a job posting page. The first line reads, "Job Posting: Community Outreach Specialist in large, orange text. Below that is "Department of Justice" followed by the job posting number (JC-343819)"> </div> <p>There are two job titles for every role:</p> <ul> <li>The Working Title (which usually aligns with private sector jobs)</li> <li>The California State Job Classification title (the official title)</li> </ul> <p>Here’s a couple of examples:</p> <ul> <li>“Community Outreach Specialist” is part of the Staff Services Manager I classification.</li> <li>“Full Stack Developer” is part of the IT Specialist job classification series</li> </ul> <p>When you search for a position within our department, it is probably easier to focus on the Working Title, as you will get a better idea of the position.</p> <h3>Salary Information</h3> <p>The salary information is listed at the top of the job posting. It shows the monthly salary range of the role.</p> <p>If selected, we will offer you the salary you qualify for based on any relevant criteria. For those who are new to state service, this is usually the minimum of the relevant salary range.</p> <p>It might be possible to negotiate a higher salary, but it cannot go beyond the appropriate range and not all jobs qualify for this option.</p> <h3>Final Filing Date</h3> <p>The final filing date is the last day you can apply. We post our positions a minimum of ten business days.</p> <p>We cannot consider applications received after the deadline. Make sure to submit your application package before 11:59 PM on the final filing date.</p> <h3>Minimum Requirements</h3> <div style="padding-bottom: 20px;"> <img class="img-responsive" src="/sites/default/files/media/career-minimum-req-doj-itm1.jpg" alt="The Minimum Requirements section of a job posting. It includes the text, "You will find the Minimum Requirements in the Class Specification." This is followed by "Information Technology Manger I", which is a hyperlink."> </div> <p>Each job classification series has minimum qualifications. <strong>You must</strong> meet the job’s minimum qualifications to be considered for the position. There is a link to the qualifications in the <strong>Minimum Requirements</strong> section of the job posting.</p> <p>Some series require certain courses to meet the minimum qualifications. </p> <p class="back-link"><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></p> <br> <h2 id="exams">Exams</h2> <p>You must pass an exam to become a civil servant. Luckily, most exams are not like a test in school. The majority of State exams measure your skills and experience. However, a few exams will test basic knowledge such as arithmetic and reading comprehension. Be sure to read the exam bulletin to understand which type of exam you are taking.</p> <p><strong>You do not have to take an exam before you apply for a job.</strong> You can take the exam after your interview. However, you must complete and pass the exam before we can make you an offer.</p> <p>Before you start the exam:</p> <ul> <li>Review the sample questions in the exam bulletin. This gives you a sense of what will be asked.</li> <li>Have your resume handy. You will need it during the exam.</li> <li>Make sure your resume shows you meet the minimum qualifications. Anything you mention in your exam needs to be on your resume.</li> </ul> <h3>How to Take an Exam</h3> <div id="highlighted-exam-text"> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">1</span> <h2>Create or log in to your CalCareers account</h2> <p>If you do not already have one, it’s <a href="https://www.calcareers.ca.gov/CalHRPublic/CreateNewAccount.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">easy to make one</a>.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">2</span> <h2>Find the Examination Information in the job posting</h2> <p>This is usually at the bottom of the job posting. Select the link for the exam.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">3</span> <h2>Find the Official Exam Bulletin</h2> <p>You will come to the Exam Posting page. Select the link under Official Exam Bulletin.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">4</span> <h2>Read the exam bulletin</h2> <p>The Exam Bulletin is a PDF. It explains what to expect during the exam. You can preview the examination questions and prepare in advance. Many exams have sample questions.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">5</span> <h2>Find the exam link</h2> <p>In the Exam Bulletin, scroll down to where it says <strong>Taking the Examination</strong>. Select the exam link. This will begin the exam.</p> </div> </div> <h3>Taking the exam</h3> <p>If allowed, please save your progress.</p> <p>If this is a CalHR exam, it will begin with a series of questions. They confirm you meet the minimum qualifications.</p> <p>Depending on the exam, you might be asked to enter basic information about yourself. It is probably on your resume. While this can be tedious, it is important to be thorough. You will enter:</p> <ul> <li>Places you’ve worked</li> <li>References</li> <li>Institutions you have studied at</li> </ul> <p>The exam itself can take a variety of forms.</p> <p>A few exams will test basic knowledge such as arithmetic and reading comprehension. The majority of exams will focus on your training and experiences. These exams might ask multiple choice questions about your experience. Some may ask you to write a response about your experience.</p> <p>As an example, let’s say the exam asks you to write responses in a text box. You can break down your answer into three parts:</p> <ul> <li>Experience performing a task. Include both paid and volunteer work with months of experience and examples.</li> <li>Education you have received doing that work. Include where and how many semester hours you studied that subject.</li> <li>Training you did. Include how many hours of training you have for this task. List training and certificates you received for this work.</li> </ul> <p>You must provide examples that support your responses. It is OK if you reuse examples for multiple questions. The important thing is to be thorough.</p> <p>Do not sell yourself short. Think broadly about your experience. You can support your responses with internships, jobs, volunteer work, groups you’re involved in, classes you have taken, etc.</p> <p>You must receive a score of 70% or higher to pass.</p> <p class="back-link"><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></p> <br> <h2 id="how-to-apply">How to Apply</h2> <div id="highlighted-apply-text"> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">1</span> <h2>Create or sign in to your CalCareers account</h2> <p>If you do not already have one, it’s <a href="https://www.calcareers.ca.gov/CalHRPublic/CreateNewAccount.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">easy to make one</a>.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">2</span> <h2>Find the job posting you want to apply to</h2> <p>You can <a href="https://www.calcareers.ca.gov/CalHRPublic/Search/JobSearchResults.aspx#depid=148" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">find all DOJ jobs</a> by selecting <strong>Department of Justice</strong> in the Department filter.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">3</span> <h2>Prepare your documents</h2> <p>Start by confirming you meet the <strong>Minimum Requirements</strong>. Get any transcripts you need.</p> <div style="margin-left: 40px;"> <p>Some jobs require a Statement of Qualifications (SOQs). If the job you intend to apply for requires one, you should carefully review the experience and qualifications being sought and make sure you respond to it accurately. Some candidates subject “generic” SOQs, which are usually scored lower for not adhering to the SOQ prompt. Most SOQs are scored using a standard rubric.</p> <p>Some of our positions require a writing sample, for example our DAG opportunities, and so please ensure you thoroughly read the “Required Application Package Documents” section.</p> </div> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">4</span> <h2>Select Apply now</h2> <p>You can find the button in the top right of the job posting.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">5</span> <h2>Select "I have eligibility"</h2> <p>Choose this option even if you have not yet taken the exam for the job.</p> </div> <div class="desc"> <span class="step">6</span> <h2>Complete the application</h2> <p>If you have applied to a state job before, you can use a previous template.

If you have a virtual interview, you will get a link to join in advance. If you have an in-person interview, you will receive instructions about where to go and where to check in.</p> <p>You may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement before the interview.</p> <p>It is important to be thorough in your responses – do not assume that the panel looked at your application or resume. Just like the initial application, the interview responses are scored using a rubric.</p> <p>Most DOJ programs perform two rounds of interviews. We will contact you if you are selected for a second interview.</p> <h3>If You Are Selected</h3> <p>If you are the top candidate after the interviews, we will send your file to HR for a formal review. If you have not taken the exam, you will need to. HR may ask for any documents that are still missing. We will also check your references at this time.</p> <p>If HR approves, DOJ can make a tentative offer to you. You will need to read and sign a pre-employment acknowledgement form. We may ask for more documentation to verify minimum qualifications (such as an official transcript).</p> <p>At this time, we will provide you instructions about completing a live scan/background check. Most positions only require a live scan, but certain positions require an extensive background check.</p> <p>If you want to negotiate your salary, review the state’s <a href="http://hrmanual.calhr.ca.gov/Home/ManualItem/1/1707" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hire Above Minimum policy</a>.</p> <p>We will make the final offer and discuss your start date after you have signed the pre-employment acknowledgement form and we receive authorization from HR.</p> <h3>Current State Employees</h3> <p>If you are a current state employee, we will reach out to your supervisor after you accept the final offer. We will discuss your release date from your current job.</p> <p>If you are staying in the same job classification, your supervisor can keep you up to 30 days.</p> <p>If your role at DOJ is a promotion from your current position, your supervisor can keep you for up to two weeks.
