THE PROCESS. Qualified applicants are required to attend an orientation prior to the beginning of the testing process.. Further tests; written, physical ability, oral interview will be conducted in order to produce an eligibility list. When an opening exists the person currently at the top of that list will be contacted . If a conditional offer of employment is later made to the applicant, additional tests will then be administered, to include a psychological screening, a polygraph, a thorough background investigation and a medical examination (to include alcohol/drug screening). Failure of any portion of the testing process will result in disqualification from consideration.
