How to write an application Letter for Federal Civil Service Commission

Pls admin, I need a sample of how to write an application letter for a federal civil service commission job . I want to apply for the position of an officer. here is my email address:[email protected]

• What is a Certification?
• Who gets certified?
• When will I be certified?
• What happens when a Certification is issued?
• How long does a Certification last?
• I am not interested in the work location or the department where I’ve been certified to. Do I still need to respond to the Notification of Certification?
• What happens after I have responded to the Notification of Certification?
• Will I get a job since I have passed the test and I have been certified?
• What is the “Rule of Three?”
• I am a military Veteran. Do I have any rights on a Certification?
• What is Veterans’ Preference?
• I have taken the examination and I passed with a #1 ranking but, when I received my Notification of Certification, it indicates that I am in the #5 position. Is this a mistake?
• People I know have been certified and I have not received a Notification of Certification. Why haven’t I been certified?
• What happens if I am certified from an Eligibility List and that list expires?
• I have received a Disposition Notice. What happens next?
• I quit my government job, but now I would like to return. What can I do?
• Who do I contact if want to change my work location preferences for State Certifications or to get a copy of an Eligibility List?
• Address Change

On promotional exam certifications the Civil Service Commission or the Appointing Authority that requested the Certification will mail each certified eligible a Notification of Certification.  An eligible will have five (5) business days from the notice date on that Notification of Certification to respond to the Appointing Authority that is noted on the Notification of Certification.

If you do not respond to a Certification, your name will be removed from the Eligibility List and you will not receive any more Certifications issued from that Eligibility List.

For the Law Enforcement Examination , eligibles that fail to respond to the Notification of Certification are removed from the Law Enforcement Examination pool of eligibles for the particular title area.

• Disabled Veterans (in rank order)
• Veterans (in rank order)
• Non Veterans (in rank order)

NOTE:   On Police Officer and Fire Fighter lists, children of Police Officers and Fire Fighters that died in the line of duty are ranked above non veterans.

• On an open competitive Certification, an interested veteran cannot be bypassed.  The interested veteran must be appointed or removed for cause.
• On Promotional Exam Lists there is no distinction between veterans and non veterans i.e.; an eligible is ranked solely by final average, regardless of veterans' status.  The only exception is when there are veterans and non veterans within a tied rank; in that case, Veterans are listed above non veterans.
• For example, a promotional Certification is issued with the names of three interested eligibles.  One veteran is ranked number 1, one veteran is ranked number 3 and a non veteran is ranked number 2.  The Appointing Authority can appoint either the veteran ranked number 1 or the veteran ranked 3.  The department cannot appoint the number 2 ranked, non veteran. 
• Conversely, if an interested non veteran heads a promotional Certification, then the Rule of Three applies i.e., any one of the top three interested eligibles can be appointed regardless of veterans' status.  For example, a promotional Certification is issued with the names of three interested eligibles.  One non veteran is ranked number 1, one non veteran is ranked number 3 and a disabled veteran is ranked number 2.  The department can appoint any of the top three eligibles.  Veterans' Preference does not apply.  The disabled veteran can be bypassed and the number 3 ranked, non veteran can be appointed.  
• If there are two active eligible lists for the same title, department and jurisdiction, eligibles on the active eligibility list that issued the earliest are certified first, followed by the eligibles on the active eligibility list that issued last.
• When there is a Certification of eligibles that have a tied rank, eligibles are certified in alphabetical order by last name, unless there is a veteran in the tied rank, then Veterans' Preference applies.
• Over the duration of the eligibility list, numerous certifications can be issued.  Although your ranking never changes, as eligibles are appointed or removed, your position on future certifications can be affected.
• Contact the Civil Service Commission's Certification Unit (Phone: 609-292-4100) to determine if your name has been certified.  If a Notification of Certification has been recently sent to your address, then there may be a short delay in receiving your notice.
• However, if you discover that a Notification of Certification was sent to your address, but it was never delivered by the postal service, write to the Appointing Authority that certified your name, explaining what occurred. It is at the discretion of the Appointing Authority whether to retain or remove your name from the eligibility list.
• Remember that all information is mailed to the address that you put on your application, unless you have submitted a Change of Address Form .  It is your responsibility to keep your mailing address and contact information current with the CSC.

This request must be submitted to your former employer within three years from the date of resignation, retirement or voluntary demotion since the Reemployment List only has a three (3) year duration from the effective date.  Click here for the Application for Reemployment.  

NOTE: Police officer and fire fighter Regular Reemployment Lists shall have  unlimited durations.

Every year, the Civil Service Commission processes numerous job applications and issues thousands of certifications for open competitive, promotional, and special reemployment lists. However, we understand that, from the time when you first file an application until the examination is scheduled or when your name appears on an eligible list to the time a certification is issued from the list for appointment consideration, certain particulars like your address or phone number may change. In accordance with N.J.A.C. 4A:3-3.2(e), “[i]t shall be the responsibility of an eligible to keep a current address on file with the Civil Service Commission.” This means that if your address changes at any time during the application and selection process or during the life of an eligible or special reemployment list, you are responsible to update your current mailing address directly with the CSC. If you fail to do so, you may not receive notifications to appear for examinations or notifications that your name has been certified for appointment consideration. Filling out a change-of-address form from the post office is not enough; your information must be updated directly with the CSC . If you are removed from an eligible list because we are unable to contact you due to a change in your address that you do not report to us, it will not be considered a valid basis in an appeal to restore your name to the list. Use this link to access an official CSC change of address form . 

Please note: You must also update any address change with your department or local appointing authority. The CSC address change form only covers correspondence between the CSC and you regarding your applications, eligibility status, and certification lists. Also, changing your address after the closing date of a symbol does not change your residency status or rank on an existing eligibility list.

SHOULD I APPEAL OR WITHDRAW FROM NOTICE OF PROPOSED DISQUALIFICATION ………..(NOPD)

Frequently the question arises should I take action and file an appeal or withdraw from a disqualification.

The answer lies in the circumstances and facts involved in your disqualification. There may be occasions when letting more time pass between incidents that caused you to be disqualified is a good idea, in which case you may wish to withdraw and try again later.

There are very few benefits to withdrawing if your ultimate goal is to be a NYPD Police Officer. The withdrawal letter states that the next time you apply for the job, the disqualification file will be used in determining your suitability.

Accordingly, you may wish to proceed with the disqualification appeal if your ultimate goal is to be appointed to that job.

If you receive a NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification, please call (516) 248-0040 or email [email protected] to schedule a free in office consultation.
