In order to gain employment with the California Office of the Attorney General, Department of Justice (DOJ), you must follow several steps, in accordance with the California State Civil Service process. These steps are as follows:
Each of these steps are explained in more detail below. Obtaining employment with DOJ through methods other than the examination process (e.g., transfers or reinstatements), may require steps not identified in this section.
Exam Bulletins. Obtain an exam bulletin which specifies 1) how, where, and when to file for an exam for a particular classification, and 2) the minimum qualifications (requirements) you must meet to participate in the exam. If you wish to find out more about a particular classification, go to the State Personnel Board (SPB) website.
Exam bulletins for some classifications used by DOJ are available from this website in the Examinations section.
The DOJ maintains a listing of exam bulletins at its Personnel Office located at 1300 I Street, 7th Floor in Sacramento. Please note that not all classes are tested for by the DOJ and may be offered by other state departments, including the State Personnel Board. Information about all examinations and copies of exam bulletins are available from the State Personnel Board at 801 Capitol Mall in Sacramento or from the State Personnel Board website.
To enter state service you must take an open exam, available to people outside of state civil service. A promotional exam is offered to current state employees only.
