What are the Suffolk County Civil Service Exams?

The Government of Suffolk County is the central municipal body in New York’s Long Island and adjoining area. It’s one of the biggest employers of civil servants in the region, having appointed nearly 40,000 candidates across the expanse of its civil service commission.

Within the SCG umbrella, you’ll find Suffolk County’s Department of Civil Service. It works with the State Department of NY to host the exams. This means the two bodies will liaison to set the exam schedule, advertise vacancies and set the necessary academic and work requirements for the job.

You don’t necessarily have to be living in Suffolk County to give the exams but a residency status will surely improve the prospects of you getting an appointment letter.
