There was only one round of interview, which lasted for 30 minutes. It seemed that they require security clearance for the position. Additionally, I did not find any information indicating that they sponsor H1-B visas.

I sent in my application and about two weeks later, I got an email saying I had the chance to take an oral exam. Since getting a job with the county is super competitive, I was thrilled just to get the call. I had a brief 15-minute interview with two HR folks. Just a heads-up, these HR people aren't trying to be your buddy; their job is to figure out if you're a good fit for the position, so don't take it personally if they seem a bit serious.

I took an online test. A couple weeks later, I got a call for an interview. I had to fill out a form with one question about any convictions. Then, three supervisors asked me questions. They were nice. One supervisor seemed like she wanted to say something but held back, like she had a secret she really wanted to share, which was odd. Another supervisor kept looking at my hands the whole time, even though I wasn't fidgeting. The head supervisor was extremely sweet.
