You Passed! Now How Do You Get an Interview?

When a City agency has a job opening, they review the list of candidates that passed the exam for that job title. The City agency then schedules interviews, based on candidates’ ranking by score. When your turn comes up, the agency sends a call letter, which is your formal invitation to interview.

It is important to respond to these letters, even if you need to decline the interview. If you do not respond, your name may be taken off the list of candidates, even if you passed the exam. These invitations to interview indicate detailed information about the job, including where it is located, and they tell you where the interview will take place.
