A committee would be formed of responsible persons—perhaps there might even be a veteran on that committee—and you would examine the applicants. You would ascertain the suggested qualifications that they have, what the board is looking for, and what they did to prepare for this application. Also, the applicants would have first passed the exam and then passed the interview. If a committee is set up, I'm quite certain it could even be a video committee that might question the person.
