County job postings worth checking - what worked for you?

I found several public-sector postings with benefits and a steady schedule. I have been trying to stay organised about it. Applications close on a fixed date and need a full work history. 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.
