I also received an availability inquiry from the Brooklyn County Clerk today also, but I'm already slated with NY Family. How do I handle this?
I received one also after already being hired by Kings County Family Court. I was going to take it to show them at Orientation. I imagine it’s an error in some way.
Does anyone know if after a candidate is interviewed by a particular Court and doesn't receive an offer, if the same candidate would be interviewed again when there's another opening in the same Court (assuming that the candidate's rank on the list is otherwise still high enough to qualify to be one of the people interviewed)?
If your position is contingent/permanent you will continue to be canvassed and can answer all the letters you receive. They cannot hold that against you.

Thanks!
Unless you specifically request to be removed from that Court's list, you remain on the list.
It doesn't hurt to respond positively to the availability inquiry, if you are starting a new position. You won't necessarily be called for an interview or get offered the job. But it gives you options if you feel your current placement isn't suited to you. Keep in mind that it's all a process so you will have some time, in your current position, under your belt before the interview/decision point.
As Baretta said - as long as you aren't permanent you will remain active on the lists and still receive canvas letters. If you respond positively to an availability inquiry and get called for an interview, let your supervisor know as soon as you do. As union (or OCA, not sure which) requires that your employer give you up to 3/4 hours for an interview with another court.

Good luck to everyone starting tomorrow!!
Thank you for that. My interview for Suffolk is today and I begin training in Manhattan tomorrow. LI would be more convenient as I intend to move there after getting married. I’ll let everyone know how it goes today. Good luck to those who have interviews today!
Suffolk county interview went well. It was panel of 5 asking the questions. There were all nice and were happy to hear of me starting in NYC. They did state that as long as we aren’t permanent we should keep accepting canvassing letters and taking interviews. It will not be held against us and supervisors should grant time leave for interviews.
