The list is in rank order from the highest score on down. Veterans Preference points may alter the rank order of the candidates. An eligible candidate remains on the list for at least six months, and can be extended beyond the six month period in some cases. Therefore, if your name appears on the eligible list, you are eligible to be considered for hire to openings that occur during the next six months. New employee orientation sessions are conducted soon after hire to provide information about the County and employee benefits and other useful information.
Some departments provide additional training or orientation.
In most cases, the hiring of temporary employees or interns is coordinated through the individual departments. If you are interested in temporary work or internship employment, you are encouraged to contact the individual departments. Be sure to indicate that you are interested in temporary or internship employment when you call the specific department of interest to you. The Ramsey County Home Page may be helpful in getting started.
