Once the resume and application are received and reviewed, candidates may be required to take and online a skills test. Candidates with at least 18 months of experience in a State, County, or Municipal 911 center will not be required to take the skills test and will progress straight to the interview stage.

• Take and pass an online skills and personality test. After WC3 receives the application, candidates will be notified via email of how to access the online test within 1-2 weeks after applying.
• Candidates need to regularly check their email (including spam and junk folders) for an email from onlinetesting@invitations.testgenius.com. Candidates will have only 5 days to complete the required online test once notified. There is no cost for taking the test.
• Only those candidates who successfully pass all sections of the online skills test, including the typing test (35 WPM or faster), will be reviewed (including a review of their application). 
• Successful candidates may be invited for a “sit along” in the dispatch center and peer interview at WC3 and the Executive Director.  Post-interview activities will also include a police background check. If selected for the position, post-offer contingencies include a drug screen and physical.
