Office Assistant II
The County of Monterey is a diverse community set in a picturesque coastal location and offers tourists and residents alike the comfort of a moderate, Mediterranean climate, miles of beautiful beaches, spectacular mountain ranges, groves of redwoods, low-rolling foothills, and scenic valleys. Boasting such world-renowned attractions as the spectacular Big Sur Coast, Laguna Seca Raceway, 17-Mile Drive, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, the Steinbeck Center, the Monterey Jazz and Blues Festivals and Pebble Beach – possibly the world’s most famous golf course, it’s easy to see why over 450,000 residents choose to live here and an estimated four million visitors a year make the County of Monterey their destination of choice.
The County of Monterey is accepting applications for Office Assistant II vacancies across various County departments. Positions in this class perform a variety of difficult and responsible clerical tasks within the framework of established methods and specific guidelines. Some positions may be required to perform specialized clerical duties within a record keeping system or program area. Positions require the use of independent judgment in selecting and applying specific references, procedures, and alternatives to different work situations. New or unusual work situations are referred to a lead or supervisor for advice or action as necessary. Work is reviewed periodically for technical adequacy and conformance to established procedures.
Ideal candidates will have the ability to work diligently to help maintain smooth office operations, be reliable and hardworking, have great communication skills, and be familiar with office equipment and procedures.
This classification is part of a flexible series. Incumbents appointed at the lower level of the career series may be promoted up to any higher level of the career series subject to their meeting the employment standards for the higher class and a recommendation for their promotion by the appointing authority in accordance with the Flexible Staffing Program and Guidelines.
The Eligible List established by this recruitment process may be used to fill current and future vacancies on a regular full-time, part-time, or temporary basis Countywide.
