The Madison County Probation Department seeks a full-time Office Assistant II that involves responsibility for

independently performing complex clerical operations and administrative support tasks for an administrative

officer or program manager. Incumbents spend a substantial amount of time operating a personal computer, word

processor or typewriter and the rest of the time on routine administrative tasks to ensure the efficient workflow

of the office. The work also involves responsibility for the entry and retrieval of information using software on

a computer and using a computer to produce printed material such as letters, memoranda and forms. Incumbents

work under general supervision, receiving detailed instructions only where policies have not yet been determined.

This class differs from that of Office Assistant I by the increased time spent on operating software and the more

limited scope of duties and decision-making responsibilities. The incumbent does related work as required.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Either:

(A) Possession of an Associate’s degree, or higher, in Business Administration, Secretarial Science or a closely

related field and one (1) year of full-time paid clerical experience, or its part-time equivalent, which involved

the operation of a computer for word-processing, database or spreadsheet applications OR

(B) Graduation from high school or possession of a high school equivalency diploma and three (3) years of

experience as defined in (A) OR

(C) An equivalent combination of training and experience as defined by the limits of (A) and (B).

NOTE: Degree(s) must have been awarded by a college or university accredited by a regional, national or

specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education/U.S. Secretary of

Education. If your degree was awarded by an educational institution outside of the United States and its territories,

the candidate must provide independent verification of equivalency. A list of acceptable companies who provide

this service can be found on the internet at http://www.cs.ny.gov/jobseeker/degrees.cfm. Candidates will be

required to pay the evaluation fee.

PROMOTION MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Limited to employees with at least two (2) years of continuous

full-time service, or its permanent part-time equivalent, in an entry-level clerical position immediately preceding the

date of the examination in a jurisdiction whose Civil Service is administered by the Madison County Department of

Human Resources.
