I applied for this job before Christmas; it's a city job so I know it takes time and I have to go through a civil service exam, but I thought that the essay test that they included with the application was the exam.

Turns out the skills evaluation and interview I did today were the civil service exam; there will still be another round of interviews to go. They're not expecting to fill the position until April.

Are you kidding me? Come on, 5 months to hire 1 Rec Leader!! frustrated

I'm wondering if part of their process for weeding out applicants is just to see how many of us will wait it out.

I've been tryin to get a state job here in Mississippi which seems to be taking forever! It seems to be that way with any kind of 'government' job. Red tape abounds!drinker
