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 Administrative Clerk, Court Clerk, Medical Clerk,
Parking Enforcement Officer, and Labor Supervisor.  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 650 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 accepting applications listed below:

*August Assessment*

*Assessment Dates:* Sunday, August 7, 2016 – Friday, August 12, 2016

*Deadline for Applications:* Monday, July 11, 2016

*Notification of Acceptance:* Friday, July 15, 2016



Travel to Birmingham will be required on Sunday.  Assessors will receive
training beginning at 8:00am on Monday regarding the assessment process,
and scoring will take place from Tuesday through Friday.



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:

§  the opportunity to assist a governmental agency and to closely observe
and learn about various selection processes and assessment centers;

§  extensive training on employee selection assessment;

§  valuable applied experience serving as an assessor for a variety of
jobs;

§  the opportunity to meet, work, and interact with a variety of
individuals in similar areas of study from around the country, while at the
same time enjoying the sights and culture of Birmingham; and

§  *all* expenses paid by the PBJC for travel related to the assessment,
including transportation (airline and/or mileage to and from Birmingham),
lodging, and meals.



If you are interested in gaining valuable applied experience in the field
of employee selection by assisting the PBJC please access this website
www.pbjcsme.org to complete the assessor information form.  If you have any
other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at
Becky.Lopez at pbjcal.org or 205-279-3562.  Thank you in advance for your
assistance with this process.
