Qualifications

This position is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). For the open‑competitive Beginning Office Assistant examination, there are no minimum education or experience requirements.

During the NY HELPS program, the title may be filled via a non‑competitive appointment (no examination required) provided candidates meet the minimum qualifications of the title. At a future date, employees hired under NY HELPS are expected to have their non‑competitive status converted to competitive status without an examination, granting them the same rights and privileges as competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may participate in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.
