Required Skills and Experience

What kind of skills and demonstrated experience do you need to be considered for TES?

Clerical/Administrative Positions
The greatest percentage of our jobs are in the administrative and clerical field where we need individuals who have demonstrated experience working in an office setting. Successful applicants have the expertise to perform general office tasks, are familiar with word-processing software, and possess the ability to handle multi-tasking with ease.

When an application is received in our office, we review the employment history to make sure the applicant has both the skills and experience necessary to be a successful TES employee. If the application demonstrates and meets TES' requirements, the applicant is asked to come to our office for an interview and a skill assessment.  Once the assessment and interview is completed, reference checks will be conducted.  Final determinations for hire are made based on the steps already completed and the availability of an assignment. 

Critical positions require clearing a background check.  Positions located at the UC Davis Health System (UCDHS) require both a background check and a pre-placement medical evaluation.

Computer/Programmer Positions
Some of our job requests are in the computer resource specialist and programmer fields.  Job requests are usually specific as to the platform and software expertise required.

Technical Positions
Occasionally there are job requests in certain technical areas, such as laboratory helpers and animal technicians. Critical positions will require passing a background check and a pre-placement medical evaluation.

Maintenance-related Positions
Service positions on campus include laborers and custodians.  Before a service applicant can be hired, he or she must successfully complete a pre-placement physical. Some critical positions will require passing a background check. All of these applicants must have a valid California driver's license.
