I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Carroll County Government (Westminster, MD) in Sept 2017
Interview
There was a panel of 5 employees that conducted the interview. During the interview the group of interviewers were impersonal and unenthusiastic. There was no contact from the hiring manager and no way to follow up other than sending an email to HR, with no response. It took 3 weeks to receive a letter letting me know the position was filled. Very different than interviewing with a private company/business.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked questions from a script about prior experience, very half hearted and indifferent. I got the impression that they already had someone else in mind to hire, but they were forced to interview a certain number of candidates for the hiring/interviewing policy.
