Public-sector jobs open for Seattle residents - what worked for you?

The school district in Seattle is hiring support staff. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Hiring is slower than private jobs. Anyone applied for one?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Follow the instructions exactly. They screen out applications with missing sections.
