  OVERVIEW
  1. Application
  2. Written Test
  3. Structured Interview
  4. Veterinarian Field Program
  
  WRITTEN TEST (WT)
  Candidates who pass the Application will be brought over to one of the Department's facilities to take part in an examination session among other candidates. Passing the written test may be your first step to becoming a member of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. The test consists of questions designed to measure your reading, writing, and reasoning skills. These basic skills are essential for success in the Sheriff's Communications Center. Candidates will be allowed one (1) opportunity to pass the Written Test. If a candidate does not pass the WT, the candidate must wait three (3) weeks before he/she can reapply.
  
  The written test requires you to write an essay in response to a general subject question. The essay will be evaluated based on your written communication skill and demonstrated effectiveness in judgment and decision-making and behavioral flexibility. There is no right or wrong answer to the question. Each candidate's response will be unique to that candidate, based on his or her life experiences.
  
  Candidates are not successful in the Essay for numerous reasons, including the following:
  
  • Using poor examples that fail to showcase their abilities and potential
  • Failure to provide enough details that would make the essays clear and easier to understand
  • Failure to stay on topic (i.e. rambling, too much detail, or irrelevant information)
  • Failure to provide all information asked for in the essay questions (i.e. did not completely answer the questions)
  • Lacks adequate written communication skills (i.e. English usage, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.)
  
  (( After completing the IC essay, you will be required to answer a series of OOC scenario-based questions. This step includes and focuses on a rigorous OOC mindset test used to establish the candidate's motive in joining the faction and their mannerisms/style of role-play. As our faction's goal is to provide an environment conducive to good role-play for all players, players who have the wrong mindset will be weeded out through this questionnaire. Candidates receive a private message (PM) on these forums with instructions on how to complete this step.
  
  Due to the fact that the Written Test is primarily OOC focused, applicants who have previously passed the Written Test on any character within the past three months (generally) do not have to complete it again. ))
  
  STRUCTURED INTERVIEW (SI)
  Candidates who pass the Written Test will participate in a Structured Interview (SI). The SI evaluates the candidates' experience, problem-solving ability, Department knowledge/interest, interpersonal skills, community involvement & awareness, and communication skills. Candidates will be allowed one (1) opportunity to pass the SI. If a candidate does not pass the SI, the candidate must wait three (3) weeks before he/she can reapply.
  
  (( The Structured Interview consists of an in-character interview where the candidate must demonstrate their ability to accurately roleplay an interesting character in the US environment through realistic dialogue and interaction. ))
  
  VETERINARIAN FIELD PROGRAM (VFP)
  Candidates who achieve a passing score in the Structured Interview shall be appointed the title of Probationary Veterinarian and be enrolled in the Veterinarian Field Program for ongoing training. The training shall take no less than four (4) weeks, observed by the Lead Veterinarian. Upon completion of this training, candidates shall graduate and be appointed the title of Veterinarian.

5. Application Form

• GENERAL INFORMATION
  The information you provide in this application will be used in the background investigation to assist in determining your suitability for the non-sworn position of Veterinarian.
  • It is your responsibility to complete this form and provide all required information.

  DISQUALIFICATION
  There are very few automatic bases for rejection. Even issues of prior misconduct, such as prior illegal drug use, driving under the influence, theft, or even arrest or conviction are usually not, in and of themselves, automatically disqualifying. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals "fail" background investigations is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information from their prospective employer.
  
  
  BOTTOM LINE: You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses.
