I thought Lowell was Civil Service, and is that the same date as the Civil Service exam?

 

[tellyour]

Yeah, that is the same date as the civil service exam and also the same prices and also the same filing date. hmmmmm......:shifty:

Lowel is civil service and according the the list I have they do have residency preference, unless it has changed...

I just spoke with HR.. it is the civil service exam. They are just trying to get more applicants to take the exam. They do have a residency preference .. but you are not required to live in the town to take the exam....

Boston does the same thing, they advertise it as a Boston Police Exam. It's just to sign up for the civil service exam, it's probably just easier for them to advertise it that way for those who can't comprehend the concept of civil service too quickly. :roll:
