I'm waiting to hear back because of federal grant issues. The position might be cut or funded differently. Lots of local government jobs get federal money, which is surprising. I'm hoping for the best.

The process involved spending time with people from different departments. There was a civil service exam, a drug test, and a background check. I also had to write an essay, participate in a group interview, and have a final interview with the head of the department.
