How to Apply for a Job at NYPL ~ Response

So in my last post three weeks ago I was wondering what it would take to get a job at the New York Public Library ...civil service exams, academic qualifications, etc. So I went to the NYPL website and Asked them. The library system has an "Ask NYPL" section on their website that allows you to call, email, or text them a reference question. I filled out the email form and got a prompt answer...(two days later).
This was their response:
"Thanks for your interest in working at The New York Public Library!

Here is The Library's Employment Opportunities Web page, which lists available positions and all necessary qualifications to apply. Using this, you can apply for jobs directly online. Note that none of NYPL's jobs (librarian or otherwise) require a civil service examination:

For information on job searching in general (not just in NYPL) be sure to visit the NYPL Job Search Assistance Web page:
http://www.nypl.org/help/getting-oriented/for-job-seekers

Also, the Science, Industry and Business Library keeps Job Search Central (http://www.nypl.org/locations/tid/65/node/40820):
188 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10016
e-mail: sibleref@nypl.org

We hope this helps and wish you all the best with your job search!"
 No Civil Service Exams?! How refreshing! Thanks NYPL! <3
