State Of California Job Application 2010: Fill & Download for Free

After graduating from college, after working as a college instructor in Western Michigan, after taking graduate classes at Madison, I applied to two graduate programs: Berkeley and Stanford. My girlfriend had been hired by a laboratory in Monaco and there were only two schools that I would go to instead of going to France (I was to live in Nice): Berkeley and Stanford. I was rejected by both after visiting each and so I moved to Nice/Monaco for a year. There, I filled out applications to 8 schools and ask for new letters from my references. I had retaken the GRE and did better than the first time. I had decided that I didn’t like the atmosphere in the Economics Department at Stanford, so didn’t reapply. I was accepted into Economics, Berkeley. I moved to Berkeley/Oakland and my girlfriend moved to SF to work for Kaiser Permanente (25 years later she discovered the relationship between HPV and cervical cancer, then died of gall bladder cancer from the chemicals she had used during the 25 years of examining Pap smears). I got my PhD in economics at UCB and did I post-doc at Caltech. While at Caltech, I attached myself to a group of professors who were moving from Caltech to Stanford. I continued at Stanford for 26 years before moving to Paris to work for the OECD.Stanford is the talent incubator of Silicon Valley and the UC system is the talent incubator for the government of California. Berkeley/UC is the most prestigious public university system in the world, but its ability to attract world class talent is a function of state funding. Stanford’s funding is independent of any government. While I was at Stanford, the amount of office space doubled, while the undergraduate population grew about 1% per year. When I visited Stanford to present my application for a PhD in economics, the department was on the 4th floor of a building (Encina) that had been bombed in the anti-Vietnam era, and the east wing had not been rebuilt. When I started teaching at Stanford, the Department was in the same building. A few years later, a benefactor (Ralph Landau) put up half the money for a new building across the street. A few years later other benefactors put up money for another building next door for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and to renovate Encina. We had moved from a bombed out building to two new buildings between 1990 and 2010. This happened all over campus. The UCB Department of Economics had been in three locations when I started graduate school and had been unified in one location (Evans) by the time the Stanford Economics had two buildings. UCB tries to maintain its faculty, but when Stanford makes an offer, it is hard to turn it down if housing support is forthcoming. Each time a Nobel is given to someone at Stanford Economics, they seem to find their way to wherever they want (the Nobels in Economics at UCB have tended to stay in the Bay Area).Of course, the economics departments aren’t universities. At the graduate level it is the departments that are more or less presitigious when comparing Stanford and Berkeley. Your question is implicitly focused on the undergraduate programs. At Stanford once one is admitted, everyone assumes that the admittee will graduate. Everyone helps. There is grease everywhere to push the undergrad through the program. When people graduate, they have little experience struggling. The struggle is to get in, not to get out. So most Stanford students graduate with too much confidence: “Well, of course, I graduated and now I am going to conquer the world”; this confidence can fizzle if they are not prepared to struggle. Berkeley is a continuous struggle even for grad students (there is no assumption that you’re going to finish your dissertation!) from day one (my first day involved finding money to pay tuition, because I’d found a job as a teaching assistant but wouldn’t be paid for 6 weeks) to the final day (my last day was waiting in line for two hours in Sproul Hall to turn in a copy of my dissertation, where each page is checked one by one to make sure there are page numbers on each page!). There are 900 students in Econ 1 (at least there were when I helped teach it my first quarter): 900 students with a waiting list! Trying to take the required courses is a struggle. Finding housing in Berkeley is a struggle. The only thing that isn’t a struggle is finding good food! So when someone graduates from Berkeley, they don’t have any illusions about life after Cal, particularly if they end up working for the State of California. They have seen the California State bureaucracy and they meld into it.So there you have it! Is Stanford more prestigious than Berkeley? Sorta. At least that is the perception from the outside. But from the inside, at the undergraduate level, Stanford doesn’t add great value to an already exceptional student (the exceptional student has to work hard to become better). Berkeley educates its students and those that finish have caught up with their Stanford compatriots, but not all finish! “Give ‘em the axe, the axe, the axe!”

In addition to the good answers already given, you should know that there is a current movement called Ban the Box It promotes removing the felony checkbox on employment applications and has been endorsed by the EEOC and recently by Pres. Obama.There are a total of 16 states representing nearly every region of the country that have adopted the policies —California (2013, 2010), Colorado (2012), Connecticut (2010), Delaware (2014), Georgia (2015), Hawaii (1998), Illinois (2014, 2013), Maryland (2013), Massachusetts (2010), Minnesota (2013, 2009), Nebraska (2014), New Jersey (2014), New Mexico (2010), Rhode Island (2013), Vermont (2015), and Virginia (2015). Six states—Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island—have removed the conviction history question on job applications for private employers, which advocates embrace as the next step in the evolution of these policies.(Oregon's House just approved the measure but it is not through the Senate yet - if it's enacted it would apply to private employers within the state.)It is meant to ensure that individuals are not automatically disqualified without an employer looking at their qualifications before dismissing them. It is possible that you won't be asked until later in the process, or sometimes not at all. Unless you are looking for an internship in a field/company that requires a government clearance, as long as you are honest when asked, you should certainly try for the internships.You may want to think about what you are going to say when/if you are asked about it. This is especially true if you feel nervous or embarrassed about your past. It is also important to know your rights as you move forward.Koch Industries 'Bans the Box'Oregon House passes 'Ban the Box' bill, aimed at helping ex-cons get jobsLawmaker wants to 'ban the box' on state job applicationsPresident Obama Urged to “Ban the Box” for Federal Contractors | The National Law ReviewEnsuring People with Convictions Have a Fair Chance to Work

You need to get over it. Convictions dismissed pursuant to California Penal Code 1203.4 do not have to be disclosed.So how did the pardon request go? According to https://lac.org/toolkits/certificates/California%20statute.pdf 4852.13.(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b), if after hearing, the court finds that the petitioner has demonstrated by his or her course of conduct his or her rehabilitation and his or her fitness to exercise all of the civil and political rights of citizenship, the court may make an order declaring that the petitioner has been rehabilitated, and recommending that the Governor grant a full pardon to the petitioner. This order shall be filed with the clerk of the court, and shall be known as a certificate of rehabilitation.In California: An employer is legally allowed to consider prior convictions in making an employment decision. This question is therefore not unlawful. Just know that if a prospective employee has had their conviction dismissed pursuant to California Penal Code 1203.4 they do not have to disclose the conviction.Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued an executive order in 2010 removing the conviction box from state job applications. The Legislature broadened that policy in 2013, passing a law that state and local agencies in California cannot ask about an applicant’s criminal background until their minimum qualifications for the position have already been established.

For example, San Francisco prohibits employers with 20 or more employees from asking an applicant about criminal history until after an in-person interview or until after a conditional offer of employment has been made.
