Dear Colleague, please forward this to anyone whom you believe will be
interested.  Thank you.





I am writing to you on behalf of the Personnel Board of Jefferson
County (PBJC) in Birmingham, Alabama regarding our upcoming selection
procedures for the positions of Bailiff, Traffic Maintenance Worker,
Guard, Communications Operator II, Waste Water Treatment Plant
Operator, Personnel Analyst I and Administrative Analyst.  The PBJC is
an independent government agency that provides human resource services
under the provisions of a Merit System to 22 jurisdictions within the
boundaries of Jefferson County.  These jurisdictions include multiple
municipalities as well as county government.



Approximately 800 individuals will go through the Assessment Centers;
which will serve as the primary selection procedure, for the positions
listed above. The assessment centers permit individuals to demonstrate
their knowledge and competence related to these jobs through a variety
of selection processes, including structured interviews and work
samples.



In order to accurately and effectively assess the candidates’
performance in these selection processes, the PBJC is recruiting
graduate students who are enrolled in Industrial/Organizational, Human
Resource, or Organizational Behavior Master and/or PhD programs or any
individual that has employee selection assessment experience to assist
in the final assessment of these candidates.  We are currently

Travel to Birmingham will be required on Sunday.  Assessors will

The success of our process hinges on our ability to recruit highly
competent individuals to assist in this assessment.  Although we are
unable to provide a stipend to the assessors that we recruit to assist
in this process, the assessment does provide a number of other
benefits to individuals who graciously agree to volunteer.  Such
benefits include:

observe and learn about various selection processes and assessment
centers;

§  extensive training on employee selection assessment;
