Hey buddy the New York City government jobs are those in which applicants are required to take and pass a civil service examination as part of the hiring process.

Civil service exams test individuals on the skills needed for specific job titles.

Each title has a corresponding exam.

For example, a clerical associate and a sanitation worker will both need to take an exam before being hired by the City, but they will each take a different test.

All individuals that pass an exam are placed on an eligible list, which is ranked


Selection Process

Provisionally-appointed individuals will have the opportunity to take and pass the relevant examination the next time it becomes available in order to become permanent appointees.

There are also other jobs with titles that do not require exams. You can browse open jobs in that category using the “open jobs quick links” on NYC Jobs.
