MoreThis collection contains federal examination announcements and job descriptions for jobs with the Civil Service from 1949 to 1950. Jobs listed range from support staff to professionial positions in a variety of fields including agriculture, biological sciences, communications, engineering, geology, mathematics, and nursing. Directions and sample questions for some examinations are also included. The United States Civil Service Commission was established by the Civil Service Act of 1883. The Commission replaced the “spoils system” and democratized the process of hiring for federal jobs; first, because it required that these positions be filled through competitive examinations which were open to all citizens; second, because it required selection of the best-qualified applicants without regard to political considerations. In 1978 the Civil Service Commission was reorganized and renamed the Office of Personnel Management.
