ROUNDUP OF EXAMS LEADING TO JOBS
Below is a roundup of New York City and State exams leading to public service
positions. Most of the jobs listed are located in the New York metropolitan area
and upstate.
There are residency requirements for many New York City jobs and for state
law-enforcement positions.
Prospective applicants are advised to write or call the appropriate office to
make sure they meet the qualifications needed to apply for an exam. For jobs for
which no written tests are given, candidates will be rated on education and
experience, or by oral tests or performance exams.
The Federal Government has decentralized its personnel operations and holds
few exams on a national or regional basis. Most Federal vacancies are filled by
individual agencies based on education-and-experience evaluations. For
information, contact the U.S. Office of Personnel Management or individual
agencies.
