      Public Information Officer Interview

      17 Nov 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redding, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shasta County (Redding, CA) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      Zoom interview with the assistant county executive officer, deputy branch manager of Shasta County Health and Human Services, and deputy county executive officer. None of the people present had any expertise in communications, marketing, public relations, or the like, so their questions were pretty elementary and had little to do with what a public information officer actually does in most cases. They were very much not forthcoming when confronted with questions about their ongoing public relation scandals and seemed completely unprepared for a candidate who had actually done their homework on the county. Interview was mid-October, and then radio silence for a month. After the second email to them, I was notified that the position had been filled. Not very promising for someone looking for a courteous and professional workplace.

      Question 1

      I don't remember the exact questions that were asked. They wanted to know why I was interested in Shasta County, in particular. Other questions were pretty basic about communications from a layperson's perspective.
