I scored 107, you’ll have to wait until the posting closes before being contacted. And by law if someone is a vet and applies they get to apply and if at all possible must be given the job. This can cause excessive wait times before getting around to qualified candidates.

I believe the hiring process took a few months for me. But memory is hazy as I interviewed for more than one position.

You are correct about the vet thing. It also adds 20 points I think to their score when it comes to picking people to interview.

It can take several months for the whole process to go through. For the current position I'm in with the state, I applied in September and didn't get hired/start until January.

How did you score 107/100? I’m asking because I applied for four jobs at the Commonwealth and scored 100/100 on every single one and never even sniffed an interview. The only way to score above a hundred that I know of is to be a veteran, which I find to be absurd.

It didn’t say it was out of 100 (could be?) it also was a position that required an exam (full on exam, not a form) at the time and I had a professional certification. So it may have been a weird way of including the test score into the overall score.
