MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS ON CLASS SPECIFICATIONS
Effective January 8, 2001
The City of San José is in the process of updating
and reformatting class specifications. In the interim, this supplement
provides a consistent description of "minimum qualifications".
Minimum qualifications are those qualifications necessary to successfully
perform the essential duties of the job from the very first day
on the job. All applicants must possess the minimum qualifications
to be considered for open positions.
Most class specifications include education, experience,
required licenses and certifications as part of the minimum
qualifications. Some class specifications list "acceptable
substitutions" for these minimum qualifications.
As of this date, the minimum qualifications and
acceptable substitutions described on class specifications represent
the typical way to obtain the required knowledge, skills
and abilities to perform the essential duties of the job. Any
combination of education, licensing, and/or experience which
has provided the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to
perform the job satisfactorily may qualify candidates to be
considered for open positions in the class specification. The
Human Resources Department is responsible for maintaining
a consistent interpretation of minimum qualifications for each
class specification.
