INFORMATION YOU MUST KNOW
-
Not all, but manycareer positions, high school internships, and college internships are on currently hold due to Covid. Thus,you must periodically revisit websites to see updates concerning opportunities when they become available.
-
Many NYC government careers require you to take a civil service exam. Applying for these jobs is not as simple as just emailing a resume and then getting an interview. Please pay attention to upcoming civil service exams and take any that you qualify for. Only individuals who take and pass certain exams are eligible to apply for certain jobs. Periodically visit this link to see which civil service exams are available: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dcas/employment/how-can-you-find-upcoming-exams.page
-
When civil service exams are posted online, they are only available for a limited time, usually a few weeks. Some exams are only available once every several years. Every exam lists the qualifications needed for you to apply and it is your responsibility to know if you qualify based on your educational background and work experience. Many of these exams are not necessarily “exams” in the sense that the SATs or Regents are exams; they may be applications where you have to list your education credentials and work experience, and you are awarded “points” for each. When results are determined, you are then placed on a list of eligible applicants for a certain job.
