Discover a Career with the City: Attend a July Information Session!

Launch your career with the City!

Have you ever considered working for the City of Philadelphia but felt unsure about where to start, thought you needed connections, or doubted your qualifications? Join the City of Philadelphia's Office of Human Resources (OHR) for an upcoming civil service career information session to learn more about civil service careers, understand the process, explore available positions, and apply on-site!

What are civil service jobs?

In Philadelphia, civil service positions encompass a variety of roles within the city's government, ranging from administrative functions to law enforcement and beyond. These roles are merit-based and offer stability, comprehensive benefits, and retirement plans. They also provide an opportunity to make a direct impact on the city.

OHR is collaborating with the Free Library of Philadelphia and other local organizations to host civil service career information sessions throughout the month of July. These sessions offer valuable insights into civil service positions, the application process, and potential career paths within local government. Whether you are a recent graduate, a professional looking for a career change, or someone passionate about community service, degree or no degree, these sessions are a perfect opportunity to gather information about opportunities that can work for you.

This is not your typical job fair but an informational session about the civil service process. Don't forget to bring your resume! Computers will be available for those who wish to apply for jobs on-site, with assistance provided as needed.
