re-take policy, you may not be able to re-test. We will certify your prior

scores. Even if you take the test, the scores will be invalid.

your proficiency in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook and computerized

data entry skills.

remotely and all applications will be required to submit a Candidate
