QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED AND WHY THEY CANNOT BE OBTAINED THROUGH
AN  APPOINTMENT  FROM  AN ELIGIBLE LIST. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL REVIEW THE

THE  REQUIRED  QUALIFICATIONS  AND SHALL ALLOW ANY QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE TO
APPLY FOR THE POSITION.  IN  THE  EVENT  THAT  A  PERMANENT  COMPETITIVE
EMPLOYEE  IS  QUALIFIED FOR THE POSTED POSITION, THE APPOINTMENT OF SUCH
EMPLOYEE SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THE APPOINTMENT OF ANY TERM POSITION
PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION. AN EMPLOYEE APPOINTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION
