How To Successfully Join The NYC Sanitation Department

The NYC Sanitation Exam 2060 DCAS is expected to commence later this year. With the news of some sanitation workers making up to $300,000 in incentive payments gone viral, a large number of candidates are applying for the exam this time. Since the NYC Sanitation Department only hires a limited number of people, the exam is going to be highly competitive.

You have to stand out from the crowd if you want a good chance of getting recruited. Here's how to do that.


Prepare for the Written Exam

The written exam is one of the most weighted parts of the assignment. You need a score of at least 70% to be an eligible candidate. However, the higher score you get, the higher you rank on the candidacy list, and you have a higher chance of getting hired.

The written exam tests your fundamental mental abilities, such as observation and analytical skills. The best way to stand out in the written test is by training these skills.

Keep Yourself Physically and Mentally Fit

The hiring process also includes a physical test called the “superman test” that evaluates your strength, speed, and agility. You have to stay in shape and keep your stamina high. This doesn't mean you have to hit the gym every day; light aerobic exercise such as walking or jogging would be enough. You might also want to quit smoking as this can hurt your stamina.

Mental fitness is vital for the written exam. The exam has questions that require you to process large amounts of information and deduce answers from the given facts. You need a healthy brain for that. Make sure you get proper sleep and keep yourself away from stressful situations. 

Enroll in Preparation Classes

We’re all created differently. Some are good at problem-solving, while others have excellent observation skills. A professional instructor can evaluate your fundamental abilities and strengthen your weak areas, so you bring your A-game to the exam. We recommend Civil Service Success.

Civil Service Success is the only institute in New York City that has been hosting civil service exam prep classes for over 45 years. The institute is currently enrolling applicants for their NYC Sanitation Exam Prep Classes for the anticipated sanitation exam. They also offer  Nassau and Suffolk Police Exam Prep Classes and NYC Firefighter Exam Prep Classes to train all aspects of the respective exams.
