Many people expected The New York City Sanitation Worker Exam to be held in 2020. However, like many well laid plans, it was postponed by the Covid-19 problem. Will it be held in 2021? Perhaps....
Regardless of when the test will be held, if you are really serious about securing one of these well paid positions, you should be thinking - and preparing - for the test. Competition will be tough. There will be tens of thousand more applicants than available jobs.
Beyond the physical and medical requirements, you have to prepare to score HIGH on the written test.
In this post, we will list the types of questions that were asked on prior exams. We expect to have a series of posts on the sanitation worker job. But for now, consider the following types of questions. Are you already an expert at answering these types of questions?
Written Comprehension
understanding written sentences and paragraphs. This ability may be used to read
and understand departmental messages.
Written Expression
using English words or sentences in writing so that others will understand. This ability may be used to complete a form for a specific request such as switching a vacation day.
Problem Sensitivity
being able to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It includes being able to identify the whole problem as well as elements of the problem. This ability may be used to tell if there is something wrong with the waste collection truck, which will lead to a mechanical failure.
Information Ordering
following correctly a rule or set of rules or actions in a certain order. The rule or set of rules used are given. The things or actions to be put in order can include numbers, letters, words, pictures, procedures, sentences, and mathematical or logical operations. This ability may be used to understand the correct order in which a plow must be assembled.
Deductive Reasoning
applying general rules to specific problems and coming up with logical answers. It involves deciding if an answer makes sense. This ability may be used to determine which type of waste to collect, based on specific waste collection rules.
Spatial Orientation
determining where you are in relation to the location of some object or where the object is in relation to you. For example, this ability may be used to determine where to drive to reach a destination located a few blocks away.
Visualization
imagining how something would look when it is moved around or when its parts are moved or rearranged. It requires the forming of mental images of how patterns or objects would look after certain changes, such as unfolding or rotation. One has to predict how an object, set of objects, or pattern will appear after the changes have been carried out. This ability may be used to assemble a plow based on an illustration.
