County job postings worth checking - what worked for you?

I found several public-sector postings with benefits and a steady schedule. Applications close on a fixed date and need a full work history. How long did it take to hear back?

Sign up for email alerts on the city's job page. New postings often close within two weeks.

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.
