High level phone screen with moderate difficulty. 3-Person Panel including the Hiring Manager. One person on the panel seemed particularly judgmental. Face-to-face interview was only 30 minutes which wound up being a bad sign.

Interview is a panel type interview and the interviewers ask pre-scripted piece of paper, then the interviewers ask their own questions. If you are coming from the private sector, remember these are government employees and they think totally different, (i.e. they have never been exposed to feeling the pressure of revenue generation in private company and the accountability that goes along with it). The questions I was asked seemed odd to me, such as what am I doing to promote BLM in my personal life. There were far more questions about current political and equity issues than the actual job. Long story short, I got the feeling people are hired by the County as to whether they like you and not as much based on qualifications, and that the County employees almost had an "us versus them" mentality when it came to dealing with the public. I applied for the job to utilize my business skills to work with and advance underserved portions of the community, but saw indicators the workplace environment had toxic components.
