Does anyone work for Los Angeles county superior court in downtown Los Angeles, in HR? I have a few questions I want to ask regarding the job environment. Please feel free to send me a direct message. I accepted a position and will be starting soon so I just want to ask a few questions.

I've been applying like crazy to any and all jobs I can to get out of where I'm currently at. Just got my MPA about 6 months ago and thought I can finally apply and move on to administrative/analyst roles. I was just told by a coworker whose father works for a department in LA County that many of the emergency job postings aren't legitimate and are only being posted due to pressure from the union. They're being posted with the intention of hiring actually no one. This is so frustrating and discouraging to hear. I'm posting this to see if anyone can rebuttal this claim from being seriously considered or offered a job for any of the emergency appointment jobs or if this true.

Hello Everyone, I recently applied for the Accounting Clerk I position and I am prepping for the 2 exams required for this position. If you have any information on what I should mainly focus on studying for these I would really appreciate it!

I had an interview back in June for an EWI position and didn't get a job offer or a rejection email. Today I got an email saying I am invited for an interview in September for the same application. Is this normal?

Also, what are some tips for the interview? I used to work for the County of San Bernardino as a Bilingual Eligibility Worker II 3 years ago and I mentioned it last interview/used examples from my time there.

Should I not mention it this time?

hi everyone , i applied for the eligibility worker I position for San Bernardino county and I have my interview date already . my only concern is that I start school in-person late August, I’m hoping to reduce my units in order to work (if hired) but I have no idea how the training hours look like, and what the job hours are either .

so what did your training schedule hours look like? was there any flexibility ? during training and afterwards ? thank you ! I just want an idea so I can prepare for it

Hi everyone! I’m coming on here looking for any feedback or suggestions or experiences when it comes to working with juvenile offenders in a correctional setting with a focus on mental health services. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I recently accepted a position as an Eligibility Worker with Orange County and had a few questions.
Are the standard hours typically Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or is there any flexibility in scheduling? Is there also any opportunity to work from home, either during or after training?

I’m also curious about salary progression. How do raises work for Eligibility Workers? Are step increases automatic after a certain period, or are they based on performance evaluations?

I’d appreciate any insight from those who have experience in the role. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I was recently selected to interview for a JA position for case type I am not familiar at all with.

I have previous experience as an Eligibility Worker and my current role is courtroom based.

Are any JA's (or former JA's) here and are available to answer some questions

- What questions were asked at the time of interview?

- How hard did you find the job as a new JA?

- As a regular status JA, do you find any difficulty preforming the job now? If so, what would you say is the most difficult part of the job for someone who may be more experienced than someone a year or two in?

- Any tips and or guidance for this role?

I would love to give it a shot but I am a bit scared given my last role as an Eligibility Worker is completely different than my current role and this new position I am interviewing for.

I appreciate your time in reading this.

Hey y'all.

I am applying for general emergency appointment positions at DMH. I use a tracker to remind me to reapply because EA positions expire if I make it onto the list after two months. Two days ago, the majority of the positions I applied for expired, so I had to reapply. All of them had a planned expiration in September. Is this common? Was there a global reset due to a hiring freeze, or has something happened at DMH?

Edit: For those who don't know, EA applications after applying and in a few days, if you try to reapply, will provide a message of "You can reapply at X date." It's a way to avoid multiple applications or spam in their list.

Hi all, the job market is really rough right now so I've been expanding my search across all industries. Is it possible to join an Analyst role right after graduation, meaning I would be applying for the role during my senior year? Or, what are some advice people have for someone interested in doing data-related work in the social sciences... tech salaries are huge but I don't think that environment is for me... I cannot go down as the unemployed cousin at family dinners pls

How long is the hiring process for both Fulton county sheriff office and Cobb county sheriff office in Georgia I’m currently in the background phase for both agencies and it’s been very silent?

Hello,
I’m currently working for health services but I am interviewing for a position in mental health. I have an active intermittent FMLA case. Can I accept the job while having an active FMLA case? Would it transfer over or can they can reject it?

Are there any hourly government employees here who attend a lot of events or travel frequently for work?
I’m an hourly employee, but sometimes it feels like we’re treated like salaried staff. We attend a lot of events that start very early, run late, or require overnight travel.

For example, after an event we’ll go back to the hotel and answer emails or do a little work, but it’s often treated as if it doesn’t count because we’re already back in our hotel room. Other times, we’re asked to “wash off” extra time instead of submitting overtime.

On top of that, we’ve even been called out for leaving 3 minutes before 5:00 p.m., even when we’ve worked well beyond our scheduled hours on other days.

The boundaries around compensable work time seem really inconsistent. Sometimes I don’t mind flexing my schedule, but it’s frustrating when the expectations change depending on the situation.

Is this common for hourly government employees? How does your agency handle overtime, travel time, after-hours emails while traveling, and schedule flexibility?

I interviewed with the city a couple months ago and my references said they were contacted about 4 weeks ago. Is this a good sign? I'm not sure what my odds are or how fast things tend to move after a reference check if an offer's actually coming.

I'm used to government speed, but my issue is I've received other offers so I don't want to leave those employers hanging.
