Just wanted to update all who are interested in this position that the cut off date to apply has been changed to September 1, 2006. 
I know it is difficult to navigate through the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) website so I recommend you call and follow their directions. If your application is incomplete or incorrectly filled out they will not look at it. 
I have attached the application form and links to the Connecticut DAS website.
