To:                   Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

 

Subject:            How Classified State Employees Should Apply for Unclassified Managerial Positions (Act 693)

 

Issue Date:       October 24, 2007

  

As part of its responsibilities under Act 693(Executive Management in State Government) signed by the Governor on July 21, 1983, the Department of State Civil Service is required within sixty days after each election for governor to submit to the Governor-Elect a list of classified employees who are qualified for and who desire to apply for a position in management in the unclassified service.  The Governor-Elect may consult this list in making appointments to unclassified management positions and may also make the list available to secretaries and other heads of departments.

 

Interested candidates must submit a resume to the Department of Civil Service, P.O. Box 94111, Capitol Station, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70804-9111 or fax a copy to (225) 342-2386 no later than November 30, 2007.  A cover letter must accompany the resume stating the employee’s interest in applying for the “unclassified managerial positions.”  Any candidate for whom we do not receive a resume by November 30, 2007, will have to express his or her interest directly to the Governor-Elect’s staff. 

 

The minimum qualifications for these positions are as follows:

  1. A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university; however, appropriate work experience related to the position of appointment may be substituted on a year for year basis for such degree; plus
  2. Three years of responsible managerial experience.

 

The Department of State Civil Service will forward to the Governor-Elect no later than December 19, 2007 the following:

  1. a list of applicants
  2. the resumes

 

 

 

Agencies are urged to give this circular wide dissemination so qualified employees who are interested in applying for appointment to a position of management in the unclassified service may make known their interest at the earliest possible date.  Your cooperation in carrying out the legislative mandate of this Act is appreciated.

 

If you have any questions, you may contact Jamie Lewis at (225) 342-8536 or email her at jamie.lewis@la.gov.

 

 

Sincerely,
