Job Specification

Other Qualifications

Civil Service Commission Rule 2-7 requires that all newly hired state employees submit to and pass a pre-employment drug test prior to their actual appointment. Due to the nature of work of the Department of State, criminal records will be checked.  Any position offer will be conditional until results of the criminal background record checks indicate eligibility for employment.

Your application for any position does not guarantee that you will be contacted by the Department for further consideration.  Only those applicants interviewed will be notified of the results.

Please attach a resume and cover letter to this application. Failure to do so may result in your application being screened from the process.

If you qualify based on possession of a bachelor's degree in any major, you must attach a copy of your official transcripts. Failure to do so may result in your application being screened from the process.


As outlined by Civil Service, an official transcript must bear the applicant’s name, college, or university certification (e.g., seal, logo, watermark, or letterhead), date and name of the conferred degree and registrar’s signature. Transcripts that do not meet these requirements are considered unofficial. For more information regarding official transcripts, click here (Download PDF reader).


Applicants who possess a degree from a foreign college or university must have their academic credentials evaluated or converted into U.S. educational equivalents unless the degree has been recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Go to evaluators for a list of accepted organizations that evaluate foreign credentials.  Failure to provide this evaluation at the time of application may result in you being screened out of the process.


The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the selections process (i.e. application, written exercises, cover letter, etc.)  with MDOS is not permitted. If it is substantiated that AI was used in the process, your application will be removed from consideration.
