Q: What is an Eligibility list?

A:

Long Beach City College fills all of its Classified openings from eligibility lists. Under the Merit System, candidates are tested to determine their "fitness" for a position. The final score will result in rank assignment to the eligibility list. The top three (3) ranks will be called to interview for each open position.

Q: How do I get on an Eligibility List?

A:

An individual must apply and successfully pass all phases of the recruitment examination process to be placed on an eligibility list.

Q: Who gets called for open positions?

A:

The top three ranks will be called or certified for every open position. It is possible to have more than three (3) people in the top three (3) ranks due to candidates achieving the same overall scores. In that case, everyone in the top three (3) ranks will be interviewed for the job.

Q: What if I miss Human Resources' call?

A:

It is your responsibility to keep your telephone numbers and address current. If an eligible is not reached by telephone, a certified letter will be mailed to the address on file. You will have 5 days to respond to the certified letter. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you are no longer interested in being on the eligibility list and your name may be removed.

Q: What if I do not want to interview for a particular opening (due to the location, hours or shift)?

A:

You have the right to waive an interview without being removed the eligibility list.
