Alaska state employment is administered by the Division of Personnel & Labor Relations under the Department of Administration. Most state positions are filled through competitive application, with some using written examinations and others using scored applications.

Job postings and application materials are handled through the Workplace Alaska portal. Applicants should review the specific job posting for the examination method and any preparation materials referenced.
