Appointments to vacant positions in the competitive service shall be made in accordance with the personnel rules. Appointments and promotions shall be based on merit and fitness, to be ascertained so far as practicable by competitive examinations. Examinations shall be used and conducted to aid in the selection of qualified employees and shall consist of such recognized selection techniques as achievement and aptitude tests and other written tests, personal interview, performance tests, evaluation of daily work performance and work samples, or any combination of these, which will, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, test fairly the qualifications of candidates. Physical and medical tests may be given as a part of any examination. In any examination the Personnel Officer may include, in addition to competitive tests, a qualifying test or tests, and set minimum standards therefor.
