City government openings this month

The city and county near Madison both posted administrative and maintenance openings this week. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Hiring is slower than private jobs. Do they prefer local residents?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
