Apply online for a position with the DMV. Use the library for Internet access if you can't do this at home. Most states offer a link on their DMV home page for employment opportunities. If your state does not offer a link, like New York, type "employment" into the site's search engine, and you should be redirected to a Civil Service Employment Opportunity page. Here is where you can find employment opportunities with the DMV.

The Department of Motor Vehicles offers a variety of jobs, many of which do not require a college degree. A high school diploma and a valid driver's license are all you need for positions such as window clerk. Road testers require a longer period of training, since you would be required to properly evaluate prospective drivers.
