SECRETARIAL ASSISTANT 3 NON-STENOGRAPHIC

Non-stenographic

The qualifier is the point. New Jersey splits its secretarial titles between those requiring shorthand or machine transcription and those that do not, and the non-stenographic variants exist because most offices stopped taking dictation long before the title list caught up with them.

This code sits in the competitive division, so it would ordinarily be filled from an examination list even though no specification is published for it.
