positions to be filled;
(b) The title of the job classification
for each position; and
(c) Other pertinent information which the
appointing authority and the secretary reasonably determine are necessary; and

Section 2. Certification of Eligible
Applicants. (1) Upon receipt of a request for a register, the secretary shall
certify and submit to the appointing authority the names of eligible applicants
for the position who have applied.

score included in the highest five (5) scores earned through the selection
method; and

certificate may be filled by an eligible who did not apply if filled by lateral
transfer, reinstatement, reversion, or demotion.
Section 3. Preferences and Skills
Questions. (1) The secretary shall approve a list of preferences and skills
questions to assist in the determination of an applicant's qualifications and
availability for a job vacancy.
(2) The appointing authority may identify
preferences and skills questions from the approved list of questions which
relate to the specific job classification. The appointing authority may request

and skills questions to assist in applicant selection.
