I sent in a long application detailing my experiences and why I wanted to work for the county. It took 6 months for HR to contact me via email about an open position in a department within the health care agency to schedule an interview. At the end of the interview, they said I'd hear back in 3 weeks, but it actually took them 5 weeks or more to email me back about whether I got the job. I interviewed with three different departments in the HCA, and all the interviews were pretty much the same. They asked behavioral questions to see how I'd use my experience with clients in certain situations and to check my understanding of the job. Most of the jobs were in behavioral health, like mental health or psychiatric roles. Each interview had 5 questions: two about the department and three general ones. Two people interviewed me, taking turns asking questions from a paper and writing down my answers.

It was a panel interview with a bunch of questions, and they took notes on my answers. The process went smoothly overall. The background and reference checks took the most time. Once that was done, it was pretty straightforward to get started right away.
