I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bibb County Government (Georgia) (Macon, GA) in Apr 2014
Interview
The process was pretty clustered. I had to go to one office to fill out a ton of paperwork and then across town to another location to repeat some of the same paperwork I had filled out. Communication was a mess. When it came to the actual interview, the process was very smooth. There were no silly "trick" questions asked. It was very straight forward.
