Nassau County Civil Service Question

I took the test for Police Communications Operator back in 2014. I was recently (finally) called by Lake Success PD for an interview. I went for a second interview and unfortunately did not get the position.

I was told I would be put back on the list to be called for another position elsewhere. Does anyone know how this process will work? Let's say a position opens up tomorrow...will I be next to be called?

Also, generally how long are the lists active for? Any insight would be appreciated.

It all depends on where you fall on the list. If you are now #1 on the list because the other people accepted jobs, you will be the first one called if a job opens up. You'd have to call to see how long a list is active for....i thought it was 3 years, but maybe it depends on what type of test you took.
