Article Guide

The CT-HR-12 Application form serves as a critical tool for individuals seeking employment or examination opportunities with the State of Connecticut. Since its effective date on October 1, 2010, this application has replaced the older PLD-1 forms. Applicants can choose to fill out the form digitally or print it for manual completion, which allows for added flexibility. Each application is specific to a currently posted examination or job opportunity, necessitating the inclusion of precise details, such as the examination or position title and corresponding numbers. Accuracy is paramount; therefore, it’s essential to provide current and truthful information throughout the form, particularly regarding educational qualifications and relevant work experiences. Notably, while resumes may accompany the application, they cannot replace the required details outlined in the form. Ensuring that all sections are completed thoroughly is essential, along with carefully reviewing submission instructions to avoid delays or disqualification due to late or incomplete applications. This comprehensive approach not only boosts the chances of qualifying for an examination or position but also streamlines the hiring process for state employment. Familiarizing oneself with the instructions outlined for specific examinations and job postings ranks as an initial step toward successful application submission.

Beginning with your PRESENT or MOST RECENT employment or volunteer experience and working backward, list all positions held that you wish to be considered toward meeting the eligibility requirements (minimum qualifications) stated on the exam announcement or job posting. List all positions (job titles) separately, even if with the same employer. Provide the starting and ending dates (month, day and year) of your employment for each position and indicate if the position was full or part time and the number of hours worked per week. Clearly describe the work (duties) you personally performed in each position. If a job included a mixture of relevant duties and other duties that are not relevant toward meeting the eligibility requirements, specify the percentage of time spent performing each duty. Number your jobs, starting with your most recent job as number 1. Make additional copies of this page as needed to list additional positions, and continue the number sequence. If you need additional space for the descriptions of your duties for one or more positions, attach an 8 1/2” x 11” sheet with your name and the exam number or position title and continue the descriptions of your duties, using the number sequence to identify which positions the duties belong to. You must fill out this application completely even if you attach a resume. Failure to provide all of the REQUIRED information for each position (or job title) held may result in your application being disapproved. Although a resume can be attached, only jobs included in this section of the application form will be considered when determining if you meet the required minimum qualifications for the exam or position for which you are applying.
