CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PORTAL

There is a non-refundable application filing fee per examination number. Credit card payment, check or money order (payable to The City of Oswego) must accompany this application.

A. EXAMINATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Before filling out your application, carefully read the examination announcement. Announcements may be viewed at the City of Oswego, City Hall, Personnel Department 3rd Floor, Oswego NY or the Department’s website, www.oswegony.org.

B. QUALIFICATIONS

The burden of establishing required qualifications is the responsibility of the applicant. Fees are not refunded for disqualification. Out-of-title experience cannot be credited towards meeting the minimum qualifications. Applications will be rejected for lateness, if postmarked or received after the last filing date. Part-time experience will be prorated.

C. ADMISSION TO EXAMINATION

Admission notices are mailed the week prior to the examination date. If you do not receive a notice three days prior to the exam date, call (315) 342-8159. Candidates will be required to bring proof of identification to the examination such as a passport, photo driver license, or a photo non-driver I.D. Participation in the examination does not mean you have been found to meet the announced requirements. Applicants may be admitted on the basis of statements made on the application which are subject to review and verification. Scores will not be available if a disqualification determination is made subsequent to the examination.

D. DISQUALIFICATION APPEAL

Any appeal of a disqualification notice must be made in writing and received in the Personnel Department by the date and time indicated on the notice.

E. LEGAL ADDRESS CHANGES (IMPORTANT)

You must report a change in address to insure proper notification of test results, canvass letters and certification of civil service lists. Residency must be established 30 days prior to the examination date in order to meet residence preference requirements.
