Which of the following is NOT one of the four conditions for lost employment consideration?

1. A selection occurs from an erroneous appointment

2. The eligible candidate withdraws from the process

3. Eligible moves within the selection range

4. Selectee moves out of the selection range

The correct answer is: The eligible candidate withdraws from the process

The condition that is NOT one of the four conditions for lost employment consideration is when the eligible candidate withdraws from the process. This is true because the act of withdrawal typically indicates that the candidate is no longer interested or available for the position, thus not warranting consideration for lost employment. In contrast, the other options all pertain to situations involving candidates who are still in the selection process or whose appointments are impacted by errors or range considerations. For instance, when a selection occurs from an erroneous appointment, it suggests that there was a mistake in the selection process that could affect a candidate's eligibility. Similarly, if an eligible candidate moves within the selection range, this can influence their standing, and when a selectee moves out of the selection range, it also affects the overall consideration for that position. Each of these scenarios involves active circumstances related to the selection and eligibility process, while withdrawal leads to a clear disengagement from the selection assessment.
