With a Maryland State Agency, it says: Analysts in our Recruitment and Selection Division review and rate candidates. In the majority of situations, the reviews are performed on the information already provided in the application/MS100, requiring no additional effort on the part of applicants. Based on objective factors determined by our health program directors and managers, applicants are rated in a “band scoring” process as Best Qualified, Better Qualified and Qualified. Now, does this mean they require ONLY state employment application, MS100? Do they not want resume and cover letter with MS100? If they want resume, can it be in private sector format or does it have to be length like federal resume? Anyone know? Thanks. Is there anyone employed by state of Maryland who knows? It's difficult for me to call State HR during my work hours. That's why I am asking this on Yahoo and hoping to get an answer.
