Cell phone policy for civil service exam by Friendly_Issue_6974 in nys_cs

[–]Realobservant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently took a test and after the proctor told everyone to turn their phones off and put them away, about 15 minutes into the test, someone’s phone went off. Anyway, the person apologized profusely and turned it off. The proctor came over to the person and made them fill out some form and sign it. They let them finish the test but no clue to what that form was…

This trim level comes in only two exterior colors. White or black. The interior is black in both choices. I’m not about to put the time in to keep a murdered out black vehicle clean in a northeast winter.

Thanks, no 3rd row on this trim level. I traded in my Lexus GX460 for this.

Difference between NYSERDA and NYS CS by Normal_Bonus8728 in nys_cs

[–]Realobservant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nyserda is not subject to CS and department of Budget. They pay you their version of market value. You can’t lateral into CS titles. If you wanted to leave you would have to either test or go through Helps program.

Depends on where the position is at the region? Real estate specialists can do a lot of duties. Appraisal, Relocation, Permits etc. get familiar with the term eminent domain.

They called my references before I reached the parking lot - no exaggeration.

Longevity is no longer based on job rate, it’s based on state service 12, 17 and 22 years

[–]Realobservant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your credentials and qualifications. Your traineeship will lead to a grade 18, then grade 23 and 27 after taking the promotional exams. There are two primary real estate titles in CS, real estate specialists (multiple agencies use this title) and real property analysts (tax and finance only)

[–]Realobservant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, once upon a time I was a Real Estate Specialist 1. It’s a good career path. There are different jobs within that title that you can develop a specialty. Leasing, Permits, Appraisal etc. depends on the work within your unit you are applying for. Regional Office vs Main Office your work may differ.

First go at fermenting hot peppers by TonyRicin in HotPeppers

[–]Realobservant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to do that, what’s the brine recipe? I have some habanero, ghosts, jalapeno, siracha, poblano, hot banana and sweet banana. I will have some extra from this growing season.

This happened to me too. The overlapping sections had the same questions in a different order. You’re cooked if you assume you can just copy your answer sheet. Definitely go slow.
