Learn about the examsEach title has a different exam based on the skills the job requires. For example, a clerical associate and a sanitation worker will both need to take an exam to get hired, but they will take different tests. There are two different types of civil service exams:
The Notice of Examination (NOE) for each exam lists the qualifications for the position, the types of tests required (written, practical, and/or physical) and the date(s) of the test. 2. Check the calendarSome agencies are always hiring, and they give exams for those positions all year long. Other exams may only be offered every few years. The Annual Civil Service Exam Schedule is published every July. It lists the exams that will be taking applications in the upcoming months. The Monthly Application Schedule shows a list of each month's open exams. 3. Sign up
You must apply online in order to take an exam. For most exams, applicants must apply several months before the test date, during the exam's filing period. Filing periods are listed on the exam schedule. Those who apply will be invited to take the test at a later date. For other exams, applicants may sign up for a specific test date either online or at one of DCAS' Computer-based Testing & Applications Centers (CTACs). 4. After the testAfter each exam, the City creates an "eligible to hire" list. This list has all candidates who passed the exam, ranked in score order. When an agency has a hiring need, it will contact candidates for interviews in order of their ranked scores. These civil service lists are typically kept for a duration of four years.
