Most jobs in local government fall under the Civil Service system. A \"Civil Service\" employee can be anyone from a secretary, Police Officer, Fire Fighter, a mechanic or a supervisor for a department. Different jobs have different requirements. Some jobs require that you take an examination to be considered for a permanent job. These are called competitive positions. There are three types of positions that have no examination requirements:\n\nExempt positions are those where the employer decides the qualifications of applicants and chooses the person they want to hire. The process is similar to that found in private industry.\n\nNon-competitive positions have specific education and experience requirements that you must meet. Employers choose from among the qualified people who apply.\n\nLabor positions have no requirements. Employers may choose anyone for these jobs.\n\nIf you are interested in a position with the City of Kingston, whether it be a tested or non-tested position, you must complete the Application for Examination and Employment which can be found on our website at www.kingston-ny.gov/Employment.
