They did interviews on 05/09 and 05/12. No idea on how many applied or were interviewed. A co-worker put in, was called to schedule interview on the above dates, but chose not to continue process. Low pay to start (39k-low 40's) but good 'ole State bennies. Same with AG's office for civil investigator positions.

Doesn't look like balls to the wall excitement. Seems more of a paper pusher job.
