I submitted my application online, then I had to take a test. After that, it took 3 months before I started getting interview offers. I ended up interviewing at different places for the same job. Each department had a group interview where we were given 15 minutes to look at the questions we would be asked. The questions were pretty easy, and the supervisors were nice. But following up after the interviews was really disappointing. I didn't know who had my application info, my emails were ignored, and I never heard back about the hiring manager's decision. The interviews themselves were fine, but I expected more from the County after that.

They seemed to have already decided who they were going to hire before the interview even happened. This is something that happens in a lot of departments, and I don't think it's fair. It's all about who you know these days, not just what you know or your experience.
