NYS HELPS (DMV) FUNDING LOST

Good Afternoon,

I applied to a NYS Helps position within the DMV. I was canvassed out for an interview. Is it common for state positions to lose Helps Funding ? Realistically when could I hear something back or the process could continue. I interviewed back in November for this position.

Just recently received this email.

“Dear Candidate: Thank you for participating in the selection process to fill an Investigative Specialist 1/Trainee Grade 18/NS position in the NYS DMV Division of Field Investigation. You were one of several excellent candidates who interviewed for our current vacancies.

Unfortunately, the hiring process for the position(s) you interviewed for has been put on hold. We will reach out to you once the process resumes.

Our staff enjoyed meeting with you at the interview. We appreciate your time and understanding.
Thank you for your interest in our position.”
