I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dallas County (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2011
Interview
I thought the interviewer was very rude. The interview seemed to have nothing to do with any skills or talents, but mainly just the interviewer's impressions/misconceptions of who I was and what my political leanings were. Very strange altogether and pretty uncomfortable at points.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Their first question was for me to tell them something about myself that was not on my resume. It was just very unexpected.
