I applied at the end of April 2017 and thought I was out of the running. On June 29, 2017, I received a call to set up an interview. In July, I was contacted to get fingerprinted, undergo a background check, and submit a lot of paperwork for processing. About a month later, in August, my local branch manager called and welcomed me to the Library. They really try to place you at your local branch where you live (if they can). My orientation will be several weeks after my first day on the job. I am learning on the job as I go, but I love working at the Library and feel I have adequate help and support and training.

The interview process was pretty nice overall, but the HR person was really rude and kept delaying requests and deadlines. The Director of HR even called to check on a resume update I never got asked for. After an offer, I was told paperwork would come soon, but after two weeks of nothing, I contacted the department I interviewed with. They confirmed the offer was still good and I should have had the paperwork. HR made the whole thing a mess, and I ended up taking another offer after three months of trying to figure things out.

The interview process was pretty standard and straightforward. They didn't ask super in-depth questions, but rather focused on getting to know you and your aspirations in the legal field. Everyone was really nice and paid attention. The main focus was on the City of Memphis and how one could contribute to it.

It was easy questions that only a good employee could answer. They presented scenarios and asked what I would do. It covered the basics about myself, and was like a normal conversation about experiences and expectations. They also asked what I thought the job duties were.
