HOW DO I GET A JOB WITH A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, TOWN, OR VILLAGE?
The Department of Personnel oversees civil service hiring for the towns, villages, and school districts in Oswego County, excluding the cities of Fulton and Oswego. If you are interested in a job that requires a civil service exam (for example: Typist), you should file to take the civil service exam through the County Department of Personnel. If you are interested in a position which does not yet have a scheduled exam date (for example: Head Custodian), you should complete a “Request for Exam Notification” and you will be notified when an exam is scheduled. If you are interested in a position that does not require an exam (for example: Food Service Helper, Teacher Aide, Cleaner, Bus Driver), you should apply directly to the school district, town, and/or village in which you seek employment. Teaching positions in the school districts are not included under civil service. Each jurisdiction selects its own candidates for these positions.
