I'm pretty sure you can buy a program or download something off the internet to help you type the "proper" way. I type like 60-70 words per minute but once they taught me the proper way that went down.

Do you think they will actually test you? What kind of work will you be doing?

according to what i was told you have to take a basic test before you can get a job with the state. i guess it is real elementary stuff, like the difference between commas and decimal points. i don't have the full details of the job, but it is a personal management type job in the city building downtown. he said they have a hard time getting good people, and i have all the qualifications for the job and can use him as a reference. if not there he said there are plenty of good jobs available throughout the state
