After Passing Test, You're in Dark Till Agency Calls

sion to learn more about the
tests. I was told that a person
receives two scores in general
abilities on parts A and B Gin
the interest of honesty I con-
fess I barely passed the math)
and on tipping.
Typists in Demand
The scores are computed
with 10 as the lowest passing
grade. OF 100 taking the test,
80 passed with tipping and
stenography ratings of GS 2,
3 and 4.
The names are certified ac-
cording to scores, the highest
first and so on. There is such
a demand for GS-3 typists that
in one day my score of 88 was
eligible.
There are $500 GS 2 and 3
typiSts' jobs in Washington. "
one member of the examining
division said. Each year about
6,534 are appointed to these
positions, so you can see that
the 80 or so who pass each day
in the District are in demand.
That figure makes it look
as though three-quarters of our
typists leave each year. That is
not the case. They move to
other jobs that are not CLASH
fed as typists, creating open
ingS.
"Since jobs are granted on
a merit basis, each days appli-
cantS are added to the wait
ing list. The poor girl who
makes a 10 might never be
called because each day others
with higher scores are avail
able"
Another division member in
terjected. "As for those taking
the test over now they
can improve tipping and

stenography skills, but if they
lose out in the general abili-
ties, chances are retaking
won't help much.
Typing Is OFF
The test was changed in No
vember and we did make the
general abilities a little sitter
to make up for the poorer
grade of tipping. They're not
the typists we used to get.
They're not properly trained in
schools.
Before the change a high
school graduate with a mini
mum score would be eligible
for grade 3. Now they have to
make a superior score"
They finished with the in
formation that sometimes as
many as five or six certificates
are sent out for the same job
and the agency calls all these
people for competitive inter-
views.
I waited to be called for a
job. The phone was silent. A
few days later 1 checked the
Civil Serice and found out that
somehow the Government had
become confused. A messenger
sent my certification to the
wrong department and when
they Strengthened this out they
called my old phone number
but I had moved.
The commission gave me the
names of three other agencies
who were recruiting and sug-
gested I pay them a visit. ]
