Not necessarily. CRE is not a blanket requirement for all civil service posts. Clerical Assistant may use departmental tests instead. Always check the current vacancy notice.
9. A member of the public strongly disagrees with a filing procedure you are following. How should you respond?
Listen calmly, explain the public-interest reason behind the rule, and if the person remains dissatisfied, escalate to a supervisor. Maintain service attitude while upholding the procedure.
