If you’re looking for a state job in New York without attending college, it’s best not to worry too much about getting one—you never know when they might call! Just follow these tips:
Ask a friend to submit your resume.
If you want a job in New York, ask someone in the field you’d like to work in.
If you don’t know anyone currently working there, try asking someone at your company to see if they will submit your resume. You may also request a family member or friend not employed by an organization that provides state jobs (but could still be helpful).
Listservs can be helpful.
Listservs are an excellent way to connect with other members of your field. You’ll be able to get your resume seen by people who may be hiring or find out about opportunities that you would need to hear about.
Send out a link to your resume on social media.
You can also share your resume on social media.
Make connections with people who can help you advance.
You can also ask for advice. Most people will be glad to share their knowledge and experience with you, but don’t be surprised if they say no. Remember that someone might feel obliged to give you advice because of your relationship with them or your relative status in society (i.e., “you’re my friend”).
If the person does offer advice, take it! Don’t hesitate—you may not know how useful it will be initially. Still, these connections will prove invaluable as you become more experienced at getting things done in New York State government agencies and organizations (whether through internships or other means).
Network at parties, job fairs, and events, and talk to coworkers about new opportunities.
Networking is key to getting a job in the NY state government. It’s also a great way to make friends and learn about new opportunities.
There are many ways to network, including:
Check job boards for opportunities in your area.
Job boards are an excellent place to start. They’re the first thing that comes up when you search online, so checking them for opportunities in your field is essential.
You can also look at job boards for opportunities in your area and field—this is especially helpful if you’re looking for something specific, like teaching English as a second language (ESL).
