Your application is reviewed and a determination is made as to whether or not you are one of the best qualified applicant or merely qualified. If you make the best qualified list, you are contacted via mail offering an interview [Be aware, just because yo u make the best qualified list does not guarantee you will be interviewed]. The interview takes place. Then all interviewed applicants are considered for the position. If you are not labeled best qualified, a notice is sent informing you that you will not be given further consideration for the position. This entire process can take up to three to four months, sometimes as long as six months depending on how many applications received.
