If you are interested in working for any government you should take a civil service exam. Most government jobs require successful applicants to have taken a civil service exam for the vacant job and to have scored among the highest test takers. The county updates the exam lists frequently. There are some non competitive positions--that don't require exams. Not a lot but some!
For many years I have had a job club - and share job information that I learn of with those who subscribe to the job list. If you are out of work and would like to be added to the list please advise. I send everyone on the list all jobs that I learn of, not only jobs that match their interests. My e mail is pfeiner@greenburghny.com
The town is in the process of accepting resumes for a planning position to work under the Commissioner of Planning.
The county human resources department posts job and civil service exams frequently. The website is:
