State Jobs


has anyone applied for a state job with Florida and got hired? if so what was the whole process like? i had an interview a month ago and they selected me for the position, but said they sent my paper work to Tallahassee for processing. how long does that take? just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue. thanks

If you were waiting for a job for income I would say look into other things as well. The state take FOR EVER for pretty much anything they do.
If they really really need you they might hurry up but I would still think it would be a month (??).

That's why the state has a problem filling positions sometimes (and the lowww wages) because they hire people but by the time they get back to them the person has already found another job.

(I'm in Palm Beach County).

If you are tired of hospital work and want a 9-5 with no stress then waiting might not be such a bad idea.

Good luck!!

it took almost 2 months for me to get into my state job once they'd interviewed me and told me i got the job... they were so slow with the paperwork end and i was just sitting around waiting to start... state jobs have had a lot of cutbacks lately, though, so they're probably hard to find right now.

honestly i don't know what all is involved. i was with an agency that went through a university but was funded with state contracts. so i think it was just the paperwork going through the different agencies, getting signed, and getting put in their 'systems' that took so long. they just said they wanted to hire me but had to get official okay and it would take a while... sorry i'm not much more help!
