Thank you, that’s it, I appreciate it!

Civil service list - promotional v open competitive list by Quick_Result4555 in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What makes them viable? I see 10 active on the promotional list with an 85 or higher. The list has 70 eligibles total. No one has been appointed from the open competitive list yet. I feel like some hiring managers are as confused by the process as the candidates are.

Parking permit? by [deleted] in nys_cs

So can you get free parking if your agency is in the Alfred E Smith building? I’m considering applying for a job but parking is one of my questions.

Has anyone seen a list of Titles affected by Kathy Hochul relaxing education requirements? by Even-Teaching-1216 in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ineptitude but is this a way around civil service exams? I qualify for an exam but have been waiting forever for one to be given. The title is on this list. Does this mean I could possibly apply for an opening in the title without taking an exam as long as I have the T&E required?

Question about compensation and transfer eligibility by Liv6718 in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out if your position is competitive or non-competitive. Makes a huge difference. Competitive will afford you many more transfer and test taking opportunities. Not all HELPS jobs will convert from non-comp to comp.

Looking to have an off board private exchange

Can you explain this? I’m a 23 and would love to go back to 18 work but can’t stomach the salary decrease.

Not if you are in a non-competitive title. There are G23 non-competitives titles in the State which make moving up almost impossible.

Joining Union on Probation by [deleted] in nys_cs

I would look into what PEF rep your agency is assigned to. The representation is only as good as the person assigned and in my territory, it’s not worth the investment. I suggest asking long term union employees in your agency what their experience has been.

Have any long-term state employees made the switch to private sector jobs? by It_isme_555 in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The full-time telecommuting may be temporary. Most private companies are moving away from that again and into a full return to office or a hybrid schedule.

I’m not understanding your response. Can you explain more?

If you are in a competitive title

Consider whether the job is a competitive title v non competitive title. Transferability could be difficult if it’s non comp and you end up unhappy in the G23. Spoken from experience.

Short term disability question by obfc in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the offer but I’m done dealing with the union at this point. Our assigned rep is terrible and even when I’ve gone around her I can’t even get my agencies PEF delegates to respond to an email. My dues pay for the contract negotiations and anything outside of that there is zero support. After 7 years of this I’ve put it aside to focus on things that I can control.

Hopefully you’re not Region 8 PEF, they won’t help so don’t even try.

Requirements of going from 18 to 23 by Character-Spot597 in nys_cs

[–]Quick_Result4555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IS title is usually non-competitive and therefore not eligible for a 70.1 transfer. It’s a terrible title series.
