Here is one, suffolk county assistant school security director.
The job starts at 85k bucks with minimal qualifications.
There is roughly 50 people on the list who passed the civil service exam.
Copaigue school district goes ahead and hires there token poltically connected crony who was the lowest scorer on the test with a whopping score of a 70. He bypassed 50 people with higher scores, some even scored 95 and 100. So this character andrews from human resources sends out these canvass letters like the process is laughably legitamate and winds up hiring the absolute lowest scoring person on the exam. Numerous people on the list had many years of law enforcement and some had 30 years experience in school security in suffolk county. So copaigue put there chosen one in regardless of any civil service list or order or fairness that people on the list expects to exist. The very reason why they took a civil service test is to avoid these corrupt hiring practices.
Thank you civil service for letting copaigue human resources get away with this underhanded scam and copaigue schools for wasting everyones time and money. Im sure theres some little clause somewhere in fine print that basically allows this type of stuff to go on. Theres no point in studying for these test when all that matters is who you know and you can be hired with the lowest score possible.

Nassau or suffolk civil service always have and will bend the rules to hire there friends ,neighbors, relatives etc before anything else.
So when you pay 35 to 100 bucks to civil service to take an exam you can rest assured you will make making a kind charitable donation to the county. If you do pass you can be confident human resources will do nothing with your application other than trash it to get to there buddy at the end of the list just like copaigue schools has done and continues to do. These people in hr are plants and fixtures for 20 to 30 years turning a blind eye to these unethical hiring practices.
Copaigue also ask right on the application who do you know in the school district. I guess its just to expedite which pile to place your application in. Of course they throw in the clAuse that there an equal opportunuty employer blah blah blah minus the part where some people are more equal than others
I wasn't even aware that school districts used the civil service exams, these are posted on the county website. I have seen libraries, NUMC and others but never school districts. Anyway I though they were limited to the tops scorers (4) and needed a good reason to go down the list. You can contact the State civil service to see if this followed correct procedures.


I took one civil service test for the county and scored #2 on the list, got a letter almost 2 years later when I was no longer interested but required a response within a week or you were dropped. They seem to wait out the list until the person they want comes up.

In a state where very visible politicians have been caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie and walked (Joe Bruno, Shelly Silver and countless others), do you really think shaming will work. If these were decent people but our pols and civil servants are among the most entitled to walk GGE.
