  3. Stephanie S. Says:

    Where is MWD? Rolling Meadows?

    not to be confused with WMD’s I am sure…

    Steph:

    MWM is in MWD. RM is in RM. MWD has two Grade IIIs posted.

    since there are bids open for various sites, how does one apply for the different locations? do
    you need to identify preference?? or are you required to accept the management’s decision?

  6. Kulmeet Galhotra Says:

    In the past, people were asked by management to list their prefrences on the bid (e.g. first choice, second choice, etc.) Just understand that you may be selected for a site that was not your first choice.

  7. Justice Cardozo Says:

    What about MDD 4s?????

  8. Bruce Mosbacher Says:

    Grade IIs:

    Just a reminder that if you are applying for a promotion to Grade III, you must get get the proper paper work on file with the County! Read the postings carefully.

  11. Spivy Says:

    Oh, Bruce. The number of the bid. It should be FSD######L3.2

    eg) MDD’s number is MDD092310L3.3

    You’ve been a grade 3 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long you’ve forgotten.

  12. Spivy Says:

    Nevermind. I just figured it out.

    FSD092310L3.2

    I should get a 3 just for solving that pd sudoku-like conundrum.

  13. Mike Halloran Says:

    Question 1, If one is applying for a transfer ( a current grade 3 applying for a grade 3 at annother site); do you have to put in an application at the County Building in addition to the bid form sent to the PD personnel dept? The bid form suggests both are required, this would be a departure from past practice.
    Question 2 , are “special qualifications” needed to be selected for the forensic unit grade 3 post ? Thanks, Mike Halloran

  14. Mike Halloran Says:

    I’m proof reading my work. On the above, I should have written that the posting suggested that it is required to send an application to the county and the bid form to PD personnel. Mike Halloran

  15. Kulmeet Galhotra Says:

    Mike, the application that needs to be filed at the County Building with human resources, the so called “shakman form” is only for promotions as far as I understand and that is the past practice. I haven’t read the posting for forensic grade 3 yet but I know that management has taken the position that there are special qualifications but this issue has not been litigated to disposition in a grievance. . . yet.

    Spivy:

    Sorry I misread your question due to my advanced age.
