Special Requirements

All applicants must include a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for this position. The SOQ serves as documentation of each candidate’s ability to present information clearly and concisely in writing. Cover Letters and Resumes do not take the place of an SOQ and should not repeat the same information. The SOQ must include responses, numbered 1 through 3, to the following questions:

1.) Describe how your experience, education, knowledge, and skills will help you perform the duties as listed on the Duty Statement.

2.) Describe your knowledge and experience with financial, budget and accounting processes, especially State financial processes.

3.) Describe your ability to research, analyze, reconcile and resolve financial data.

Applicants who fail to provide an SOQ with their application will not be considered for the position. SOQ must be typed, single spaced using Arial Font size no smaller than 11 point. Responses are limited to two (2) pages. Applications will be screened and only the most qualified candidates will be considered.

The Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) is an important part of the examination and hiring process and will be used to assess both your qualifications and your written communication skills. Because the SOQ serves as a writing sample, it must accurately reflect your own knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience. Although resources such as artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT), internet sources, or third-party reviewers may be used for research or preparation, submission of your application certifies that the SOQ is your original work, written in your own words, and truthfully represents your background and qualifications. Submitting an SOQ that is not your own work, including responses that are AI-generated or heavily AI-assisted in a way that misrepresents your abilities, may result in disqualification from the examination or hiring process.

DO NOT include any confidential information to your application or supporting documents (i.e., Social Security Number, birthdate, marital status, medical information, examination results, method of eligibility, etc.)

SROA/SURPLUS Applicants: You must check the SROA/Surplus as your claimed method of eligibility and attach your SROA/Surplus letter as an additional document.

Desirable Qualifications
