I recently received a call for an interview for California Department of Corrections, Does anyone know anything about the interview process? Any answers appreciated, I have not a clue what to expect.:bugeyes:

Okay so I will post on my own thread in case any others want to know. It was a panel interview, Three nurses from the prison. They asked a series of questions, some were like s/s of hyper/hypo glycemia, other were what would you do scenarios. :specs:

Yikes! Don't you hate those panel interviews? Even more nerve wracking!

they handed me a sheet with ten questions i didn't know a couple of the questions but still got hired go figure. just be prepared to work mandatory overtime (16 hours) once you're on your own especially around the holidays, it is a very easy job for what they are paying. if you have never worked in a prison you will be a little nervous the first time you walk through the sally port but you'll get used to it, just don't get complacent be careful don't talk about personal life (family, where you live, etc) anywhere on the grounds. there always seems to be an inmate around porters and such and trust me they will share any information they obtain and try to work you.
