The Civil Service Examination is essential for people who wants to enter in the government service. Passing the Civil Service exam and having a Career Service Professional and/or Subprofessional eligibility is your key to work and start your career in the government.
Before I share you the Civil Service Examination guide I took from a Civil Service Commission Regional Office, let me give you a brief description or
definition of what Career Service Professional and Career Service Subprofesional is. Believe me, there are thousands of applicants who doesn’t even know what these eligibilities are for, what’s the difference between Professional and
Subprofessional and more. College students are usually encourage by their parents to take the exam without giving them any idea at all.
Career Service Professional is equivalent to second level eligibility, thus passers of CS Professional examination can apply for a government position up to
second level position in the government. While, Career Service Subprofessional is equivalent to first level eligibility, thus passers of CS Subprofessional
examination can apply for first level positions in the government. If you want to know the vacant jobs in the government in your area, you may inquire to the nearest Civil Service Field Office.
