That's good news. If they called people in April to get a class for July, then maybe they'll call people in August to get a class for November.

hey guys i have a question, when dcas asks about your work history, how would someone address a long history of drug use and homelessness and a spotty employment history, lot of jobs where off the books? what if they changed there lives and where completely sober and off ALL drugs including alcohol and cigarettes for over two years? would that person still have an equal chance of getting on the job? if they where honest about there past? any reply would be appreciated. thanx

To my knowledge that person would have the same chance as anyone else. The people at HR kept reiterating to just be honest. As long as you dont have any pending charges against you, past criminal history wont be held against you.... provided you are upfront and honest about it.


Now I have a question.. I was at the orientation last thursday and my medical is tomorrow.
What do I have to bring with me tomorrow?
And I was under the assumption that the medical, blood work, xrays and hearing could be ALL done in one day, am I correct?

Any help would be appreciated

I don't have this problem being a NY resident all my life, but, I guess this might help some of you.

DSNY Requirements are different, you can live outside the city but you must stay in the state:

[SIZE=3]After the first five years of employment and for subsequent duration
of employment, any person employed as a Sanitation Worker must be a resident of the City of New York or of[/LEFT]
Nassau, Westchester, Suffolk, Orange, Rockland or Putnam Counties.
[/SIZE]

Default Shelf List Number

Does anyone know if there is a way to temporarily hold your spot if you are unable to take the position right now? I was called for the orientation session and plan on attending but I am in a contract job right now and may not be able to get out of the contract for a July or August class.

Any help would be appreciated.

Default Fiscal Year

The Fiscal year starts on July 1st, so right now they are trying to rush as many classes both supervior and san worker before that date. Noone knows what the future hiring needs will be until the city presents the Depts with their budgets.
