Applications are accepted through the New Mexico State Personnel Office
online application system only!
Note to screen reader users: Recent updates to this online application
utility have made it very difficult to complete independently using screen
reading technology. Screen reader users who experience difficulty with the
application utility should notify Ms. Andrea Rivera-Smith of the State
Personnel Office @ (505) 695-5606 for assistance. She can also confirm
that your application (including uploaded transcripts, certificates, etc.)
has been successfully received for consideration. It seems that Google
Chrome works best for applicants using screen reader technology.
Please pay particular attention to question 2 in the Specific Supplemental
Questions section: How many years of experience do you have RELATED to the
PURPOSE of this position?
Minimum qualifications for this position are at least two years of related
experience. Be sure that if you indicate that you have two years of
experience that is related to the purpose of the position, that you clearly
describe *at least* two years of full-time equivalent related experience in
the Work History section of the online application. Similarly, if you
indicate in this question that you have five years of experience related to
the purpose of the position, you must describe *at least* five years of
full-time equivalent experience in the Work History section. Regardless of
the number of years of related experience that you claim to have in answer
to this question, you will be disqualified if you do not substantiate that
number of years in the Work Experience section of the application, even if
you described at least the minimum number of years required. For example,
if you claim five years of related experience, but only describe four years
of related experience, you will be disqualified even though you have at
least two years of related experience (two years being the minimum require
for this particular position).
