Professional or personal references will be helpful, though we do not recommend using friends or family members. Co-workers, teachers, volunteer supervisors, and coaches all make excellent references.
Will I need to take any tests during the application process?
Yes. Candidates are required to take skills tests that will vary based on the position you are applying for.

You will be able to pick the version of Excel and Word that you are most comfortable with. These are only examples, other tests may be required of you at the time of application.
