makes a different but when my husband was hired by the state, he interviewed in July and didn't start until September. First off, as someone else mentioned below, it depends on what the closing date is. Whether they have 3 applicants or not to interview doesn't really matter; it goes by the closing date. They legally cannot make their choice until the position is closed. After the closing date, they will do an extensive background check before notifying the chosen applicant. My husband's references called to tell him they had gotten a call. They only check the top choice's references. If his/her background check, doesn't pan out, then they move on to their second choice. After the chosen one's background passes, they notify the applicant via written letter that they have been selected for the position, but it is pending medical approval. You go through a bunch of blood work and a physical exam and a TB test. Then finally, you get a start date. Depending on the type of facility, he may need to go for training. My husband works for the state pen and had to go for 6 weeks of defensive training.
All in all, it's a very long process. The waiting is agony, but if he gets the job, it's definitely worth it. The benefits are unbeatable. Good luck -- hope your hubs gets it!!! |
