County of San Diego

Application

I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at County of San Diego (San Diego, CA) in June 2011.

Interview

Was interviewed by a junior file clerk when it was discovered that I had hearing loss when I called ahead of time to confirm my interview date. I had used an interpreter to call for me and they figured it out even though I mentioned I did not need an interpreter for in-person interviews. Ultimately they already decided they didn't want to bother interviewing me but to stay out of hot water they gave me an interview but I was interviewed by a low level file clerk instead of the regular management staff conducting interviews. The file clerk admitted she did not know why she was interviewing me because she was way below administrative analyst and told me she felt really bad to be in this position. I told her not to worry since it happens to disabled folks, we ended up having a good conversation instead of an interview since it was clear I wasn't getting the job.
