Notice to Applicants and Employees

Administrative Services

Western Illinois University utilizes open and continuous testing for many civil service classifications. Because testing is open and continuous, WIU does not typically advertise or post civil service vacancies. We encourage applicants and employees who are interested in civil service positions to take advantage of the open and continuous testing process for classifications for which he/she qualifies. Tests are administered Mondays and Tuesdays, 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Please call the Human Resources Department to schedule an appointment.
