CLERK (State)

Listed in the noncompetitive division, which is a category rather than a gap. New Jersey's career service has two parts: competitive titles filled from examination lists, and noncompetitive titles where an appointee's qualifications are checked but no ranked list is produced. The unclassified service is outside the career service altogether.

A bare clerk is the filing, records and processing position an office is built on. The absence of an examination here follows from the classification, not from an exception to it.
