The interview was on Zoom and went for about 30 mins. It was pretty easy, just one round. They asked me about my background with scheduling and taking notes in a hearing. It felt more like a chat than an interview, no pressure. We also talked about salary and expectations.

First you submit your resume. Then you wait a few weeks to see if they call you back. If they do, you get a phone interview. After that, you wait several more weeks for another call back. If you're lucky, you get an offer, but it's usually lower than the national standard. Then you wait several more weeks for the start date. Once you start, you might find the job isn't what the description said because all Florida govt positions have canned job descriptions. You might be unhappy for a few years before starting the whole process over.
