You Are Invited! NYPL / New York State Job Fair

*This event is in-person at the Melrose Library

Are you interested in a job with New York State or New York City? Join the New York Public Library’s Career Services team, along with the New York State Departments of Labor and Civil Service, at our New York State Opportunities in Government Career Fair,  happening on Wednesday, November 4 from 11 AM to 2:30 PM at Melrose Library.

This event will highlight employment opportunities that are available throughout New York City and New York State agencies and will offer attendees the option to meet representatives from eight agencies who can offer information about job openings in their departments.

This event is free and open to all job seekers 18 and older - no library card required.  Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and launch your career in the New York public sector - we can’t wait to see you there! 

Note: One ticket allows entry for one patron to the Job Fair for the entire day (no additional tickets required). If a patron claims multiple tickets, we will be canceling the extra tickets and granting only the earliest request.

Not sure where to start searching or applying for jobs with New York State? Attend a Civil Service workshop!

Representatives from NY State Department of Civil Service will be on-site to provide information and instruction for attendees interested in applying for NYS employment.

Workshops will take place at 11:15 AM and 1 PM. No additional registration is necessary to attend the workshops (though registration for the event is required). Seats are limited and available first-come, first-served.

Career Services will be offering a limited number of 15-minute drop-in resume review sessions on-site. Bring a physical copy of your resume or print one for free at the fair to get live feedback on how to best display your skills and experience to potential employers. Sign-up instructions will be available after entering the fair. You can also come to any of our Drop-In sessions at a Career Services Hub before the fair to have your resume reviewed by one of our Career Coaches in a 30-minute appointment.
