City government openings this month after 9 years as a school bus driver

I found several public-sector postings with benefits and a steady schedule. This is my first time dealing with any of this. Hiring is slower than private jobs. Do they prefer local residents?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

It took me about two months from application to offer. Apply early and keep your contact details current.
