Managing E-mail Notification Preferences

Summary

You may choose to receive e-mail notifications regarding exams or recruitments that are announced for certain titles. When an exam or recruitment is announced, the Dutchess County Department of Human Resources may choose to notify users of the announcement based on users' e-mail notification preferences. In this case, if you selected to be notified about one of the given title, you will receive an e-mail notification at the e-mail address you specify informing you of the announcement.

The following steps will guide you through setting up your preferences regarding e-mail notifications. These instructions assume that you have successfully logged into the system using your Dutchess County account and are starting at the main menu.
