I recommend taking the next state CO's exam. The pay is substantially higher than any county. Less political, you score high on the exam you get a card for an interview.
Barbrady, is that procedure a somewhat new phenomenon? I last took the states CO Exam in 95/96 time-frame and scored a 97/98 (I cant remember exactly, but it was relatively high). I got a card to report to a facility in the Norfolk area. I showed up, signed some info. in a book, they asked us to mail in a resume` (which I did) and I never heard back. When I called them, the lady advised me they were still inter-viewing \ hiring the veterans off the list, and that was the last contact I had with them.
Does that sound like the same procedure today and are they hiring more aggressively these days?
I didn't take the April exam this year as I lived in NH and figured it would have been a waste of money and time. Should I take the next one and if I do, will my NH residency hurt my chances?
Thanks for any information,
Kozmo
