Apply for a job on the city hall website? Public jobs are usually hurting for employees since the pay sucks and the work is unappreciated. Good hours though.

The post office comes with some civic pride, but is an absolutely miserable place to work, speaking from experience. The union protects you but is only permitted to react to violations rather than preemptively stop them. You are supposed to do whatever your psycho abusive supervisor commands and then grieve it after the fact.
You will meet the loveliest people (and some crazies) on your routes, though. Lots of old people ADORE the mailman.

What is the correct answer there?

You will be waiting for years and years. Even custodial jobs with the MTA have a backlog of half a decade. I knew a guy who became a conductor TEN YEARS after the initial application and examination stage because his name was still on the candidate list.
Apply to anything you can if you intend on staying in the city long term in hopes that you eventually catch one of the openings. If Mamdani wins, expect even more public jobs to get created as social programs are expanded. Get in line for those first and keep your finger on the pulse.

It’s a paradox.
The answer can’t be 0%, as 0% is a listed response, so there would be a 25% of picking it.
It can’t be 25%, as 25% is listed twice, so there would be a 50% chance of picking it.
It can’t be 50%, as 50% is listed once, so there would be a 25% chance of picking it.
Since the value of truth of each statement is directly tied to its presentation within the set of potential answers rather than some sort of external concept of truth, the lack of a valid correct response still doesn’t make 0% correct, because 0% being correct would modify the set to have a correct answer, making 0% incorrect. And so on.

You got two good answers and didn't bother to respond to either of them.

>Public service Job in NYC
Okay.
> I want a job that feels like it matters
You're a numbered drone in a bureaucracy too bloated to do anything substantive
> contributes to the public good.
Do you even live in NYC? No one things the city is run well dude. The fuck do you think some cog in a wheel built to waste money is gonna do other than perpetuate exactly what it's already doing?

It's frankly a miracle NYC's infrastructure works at all, but I guess that's what happens when all the shit gets built in an era where people were willing to actually get anything done. Then all you gotta do is endlessly barely maintain it.
Funny thing about NYC is that their transit museum has subway car designs from different eras, and the yellow and orange seats are among them. Then you can hop on a train a few blocks away and see those exact seats still in use.

It doesn't help that NY State absolutely drains the MTA of every dollar it makes so it can't really repair anything. There are parts of the subway controls that are over 100 years old. Shit is pitiful. I went to NYU and haven't been there in since 2012. But damn. Imagine what they could've improved in that time...But it's probably worse than it was when I was last there.

>>33834785
For better or for worse, I do think there's at least some chance shit will change under Mamdani. No man is an island, but Eric Adams seems content to wine and dine and spend half his time in Turkey, which doesn't help things. A mayor that actually does shit (good or bad) will at least rock the boat enough for...well, SOMETHING to happen. If I still lived there I would probably vote on his promise to stop the halal cart permit rent seeking alone.

I'd support Mamdani just for the way he keeps bodying Cuomo, lol. I'd much rather have a socialist in office there than that prick. I can't believe they actually thought people would go for him.

>>33834804
I remember during the primary they had some union head who was running "black voters for cuomo" on the radio, and the interviewer asked him, "didn't you say cuomo needed to resign over his sex scandal less than two years ago?" To which the union guy went, "uh... no comment? haha..."
