The T&E is NOT a determination of whether the candidate meets the stated requirements; rather, the T&E is one method for determining who is better qualified among those who have shown that they meet the stated requirements. In a T&E, applications are either scored or rank ordered according to criteria that most closely align with the department's business. Candidates are typically scored/ranked relative to one another; consequently, when the pool of candidates is exceptionally strong, many qualified candidates may receive moderate or even low scores or ranks, resulting in them not being advanced in the process.

NOTE:

The selection process will likely include an Oral Exam, which may be preceded or replaced by a score from a Training and Experience Evaluation (T&E), depending on the size and quality of the candidate pool. In a typical T&E, your training and experience are evaluated in relation to the background, experience and factors identified for successful job performance during a job analysis. For this reason, it is recommended that your application materials clearly show your relevant background and specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities.
