The process was smooth and informative. The interviewers were polite and I got the notification pretty quickly after the interview process. The staff seemed knowledgeable and I would recommend applying for a position with Stanislaus County. It seems like a good place to work.

The process unfolded in two steps: an initial panel-style interview where the candidate is asked about eight or so questions, without being able to ask questions, and a second interview, also panel-style, where they ask the candidate more specific questions about the position.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation

The first step is an interview panel with 3 people you'll be working with. This initial panel includes your direct supervisor, a peer, and your manager. The second part of the selection process is a practical test using a computer. Make sure your problem-solving and Excel skills are strong. The interview's difficulty hinges on your Excel knowledge and reading comprehension.

I applied online and then got an email saying I was chosen for the county's written exam. You have to pass this to move on. If you pass, you'll be invited to an oral exam. After that, you're put on a list based on your score and if there are openings. They can call you anytime within about 18 months. I got called for two different interviews about 10 months after I was put on the list. Finally got the job!
