We anticipate that the written test will be held several times each year. Qualified candidates may file as frequently as they wish, but a new application is required for each test date. Applications received afterward will be retained for the next scheduled test date. The Department of Civil Service reserves the right to terminate this special recruitment program. An open-competitive examination is being held at the same time as this transition examination.
Agencies have the option of making appointments from either list.
If you meet the requirements for the open-competitive as well as the transition examination, you may wish to apply for both. The NYS Department of Civil Service reserves the right to reject for lateness or to accept applications filed after the advertised filing period. All statements you make on your application are subject to investigation. Saturday religious observers applying for exams scheduled to be held on a Saturday and who need special testing arrangements must note this on their applications. In addition, it is the policy of the Department of Civil Service, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, to provide qualified persons with disabilities equal employment opportunity and equal opportunity to participate in and receive the benefits, services, programs, and activities of the Department.
