I've been looking for a full time job for over a year now. Until this past week, nobody had so much as acknowledged that I'd applied (except for the City of Stillwater, who politely informed me that because I had not redundantly enclosed my resume with the comprehensive application form I had sent in, I was not eligible for consideration. Since they'd never actually told me I needed to do this, I was a bit miffed.).
But last month I applied to take the Clerk/Typist I/II/III position exam with Ramsey County, my current (for the past 7+ years) employer. And I did so, along with 400+ other people. Last week I got my results: 96%, 4th on the eligible list. I've already received two calls to schedule interviews (one with Juvenile Probation, the other with Child Protection). Keep in mind that it took something like six months to get to this point when they hired me for my current job.
I'm slightly flabbergasted. Apparently the County loves me. And only the County.
Is it any wonder I'm in favor of government work? ;P
