I applied online. I interviewed at San Jose Fire Department (San Jose, CA)
Interview
This was a typical public employment panel interview. Had two interviews.
The HR staff did an outstanding job or coordinating the interviews and maintaining communication. I was impressed with the hiring manager. He participated on both panels.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions were primarily behavioral. There were a few questions related to technology, but I think they mainly wanted to get a feel for how you work with others.
