Demystifying Civil Service: Careers in New York State and Monroe County Government In-Person
The Department of Civil Service is the central personnel agency for the Executive Branch of New York State government, serving approximately 150,000 employees. Monroe County employs approximately 4,600 people in numerous career fields from the Airport to the Zoo! Most of these county positions are also hired through the Department of Civil Service.
The intent of this presentation is to Demystify the Civil Service Merit System.
Attendees will get background information on the merit system, a review of appointment types, overview of the various agencies, a review of the exam process, learn how to access and navigate the necessary websites, and an overview of NY HELPS. Our goal is for everyone to walk away with the confidence and knowledge to help themselves or others feel confident in applying and working with our State and County.
