Get told when something opens.
One email on days the city posts jobs that ask for no education or experience, or only a diploma, and a heads-up 7 days before an exam's filing closes. Nothing else.
No spam, no partners, no selling your address. Every email has a one-tap unsubscribe.
Fair questions.
I have zero experience.
Then start with the 26 open city jobs that say, in the city's own words, they need no education or experience. Every posting here quotes its requirements exactly, so you can check.
What’s the catch?
Patience. Exam jobs can take months: you apply, test, then wait for a call. That wait is normal, not a rejection. Jobs with no exam move faster.
Is this a scam? Who pays you?
Nobody pays us to steer you anywhere, and the site is free. Every page links the official .gov posting so you can check everything yourself. We don’t sell your data.
This stuff overwhelms me.
Same. So the Match is five questions, and every guide is a checklist: one step, then the next.
I am not in NYC.
We started with New York City because its job data is public. More cities later.
