The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services examination for the Coordinator (Communications), O.E.S. consists of a Training and Experience Evaluation and is weighted 100% of your score in this examination. It is important to complete the examination carefully and accurately. Your responses are subject to verification before appointment to a position. The eligible list resulting from this examination process will be used by CalOES to fill their existing positions.

This questionnaire is the only phase of the exam and is designed to elicit a range of specific information regarding each candidate's knowledge, abilities, and experience to effectively perform the duties relative to the classification.
