    • Receives complaints, messages, or emergency calls by telephone, radio, or computer terminal;

    2. Listening/Keying: This computer-based job simulation will test for the abilities to: read and understand procedures; type quickly and accurately while listening; read information from a CRT screen; and listening skills.

    WEIGHT:
    Subtest 1 will be scored on a pass/fail basis. Subtest 2 will contribute to 100% to the final score.

    This examination will be rated in accordance with Section X-1 of the Municipal Civil Service Rules.

    REVIEW OPPORTUNITY:
    An opportunity to request a verification of the computation of your score will be offered after the eligible list is established. In this review, two members of staff will independently review and verify the performance section of the examination. You will receive a written response following our findings.

    ELIGIBLE LISTS:
    The names of successful candidates will be placed on a list of eligibles in rank order of final scores. Eligible candidates of future examinations will have their names inter-filed, in order of final score. Candidate eligibility on the list will be for one year. The medical examination, police record and background check, and psychological evaluation will be administered later. Candidates who fail any of these tests will be removed from the eligible list. The Commission reserves the right to process candidates on the qualifying tests only in such numbers necessary to produce enough eligibles to meet department needs through the life of the list.
