It was a panel interview with 4-5 upper management employees. They asked a lot of questions about my experience and then I had to do a writing part at the end. It wasn't too hard, you just need to know how to answer questions with the most logical outcome.

The interview process was quite bureaucratic and drawn out. It usually involves a panel interview, though not all panelists are always knowledgeable about the specific role. The process can feel intimidating, and it often seems like they've already chosen a candidate and are just going through the motions to satisfy requirements. I was fortunate because the pre-selected candidate became unavailable at the last minute.

After you apply online, HR will check to see if you meet the basic needs for the job. If you do, you might get picked for an interview based on your resume and cover letter. You'll probably have a panel interview with people from the department. They'll ask you questions that are both behavioral and situational, focusing on the job and what Miami Dade County cares about. After you interview, the panel will talk about everyone, and they might check your references. Finally, they'll let you know if they want to offer you the job (with salary and benefits) or if you didn't get it.
