County job postings worth checking, operations analyst here

The city and county near Birmingham both posted administrative and maintenance openings this week. Any experience at all would help. 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 last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
