    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    State of California LEAP Jobs

    Apply for employment with the State of California's Limited Examination and Appointment Program (LEAP) and for traditional state jobs. The test for LEAP determines readiness to work and whether or not you can perform the tasks listed on the job description. Call The Department of Rehabilitation, which certifies disabilities, and certify your disability. Once your disability is certified, you can apply for LEAP positions at the State Personnel Board. Open positions with instructions on how to apply are listed on the State Personnel Board's website; use keyword LEAP for job listings.

    California Federal Jobs

    Sign up for competitive federal jobs listed on usa.gov. Select California in the drop-down box on the website for open positions. People with disabilities who have documentation from a licensed physician certifying their disability can apply for noncompetitive appointments using the Schedule "A" hiring authority. Apply directly to the Selective Placement Coordinator at the agency that you want to work at by sending a cover letter, resume and verification of your disability.

    Employment Options

    Call the EDD One Stop Work Services Center nearest your home for another option to your job search. One Stop Centers have counselors that help create resumes, fax resumes to employers, offer interview tips and provide listings of educational and training opportunities to upgrade your skills. Register with Caljobs job bank for access to employers and organizations in your community, which includes local city and county governments.
