§ 12103 Promotional Appointments By Test

Key Takeaways

  • •Bosses can only pick people for big jobs if they pass a test
  • •The test is only for people who already work there in smaller jobs
  • •No skipping the line—you have to move up from lower jobs

Example

If you work at a city office as a clerk and want to become a manager

You can’t just get the job because you’re friends with the boss. You have to take a test first, and only people who already work there in lower jobs can take it.
