Cerasoli 's Jobs

I decided to check out the City web site to see if the City is advertising for the positions recently approved for the new Inspector General's Office.

I went to the Cityofno.com and looked up the Civil Service Commission. This is what I found;

Welcome to the Civil Service Website . . .

The Civil Service Commission is the policy-making body that exercises oversight of activities of the City Civil Service Department. It is a quasi-judicial body with the power to make rules which have the force and effect of law. It decides employee appeals of disciplinary action and adopts rules and establishes polices that regulate the conduct of labor and management in the merit system.

The Civil Service Department is responsible for the overall administration of the personnel function in city government.

Office hours:
Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

I wonder how anyone except insiders finds out about the jobs. I checked the Louisiana Works web site and found a number of governmental jobs, but none identified the City of New Orleans as the employer.
