Are you interested in exploring a career with the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD)? The EDD is looking for talented and motivated individuals who are eager to channel their knowledge and experience into a rewarding and challenging career in our Unemployment Insurance and Workforce Services programs.
To get a permanent position as an Employment Program Representative (EPR), you must first take the exam.
Take one examination and be on two lists. When taking the EPR Examination you are given a choice to apply for Employment Program Representative and/or Disability Insurance Program Representative. If you meet the minimum qualifications, we encourage you to apply for both.
Step 1: Check Position Description and Minimum Requirements
Check if you meet the Minimum Qualifications for this examination. This is a critical step in the process. Please be informed that, prior to the hiring interview, you will be required to provide copies of your diploma and/or transcripts.
Step 2: Take the Online Examination
If you meet the Minimum Qualifications, we encourage you to take the examination.
Step 3: Check your List Eligibility
We hire individuals within the top three ranks. However, you could become reachable as hires are made and candidates are removed from the list, so we encourage you to apply for all jobs you qualify for. Use the eligible list disclosure tool on the State Personnel Board (SPB) Web site to find your current EPR exam ranking.
Step 4: State Application Form
Complete a Standard State Application Form (STD. 678).
Step 5: Apply for Jobs
If you were successful in the test you may apply for EPR Job Openings. When applying for a vacancy, please attach the following documents:
1. Standard State Application Form (STD 678)
2. Copy of your Notice of Examination Result(s)
3. Copies of Diploma and/or Transcript (if applicable)
Note: The EDD is not required to contact all candidates who are reachable for every vacancy; therefore candidates are encouraged to search for “Employment Program Representative” vacancies and search for “Disability Insurance Program Representative” vacancies and apply.
