I applied online. I interviewed at King County Library System (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2019
Interview
I applied online and got an interview after a few weeks. It as a panel interview for 30 minutes with each person asking me questions about my previous work experience and why I want to work for the library.
Thorough, straightforward. Easy to prepare for but preparation definitely necessary. Multiple interviewers with straight faces throughout the interview. Give no indication of how they are leaning. Practice for the usual types of questions and know why you want to work there.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at King County Library System in Mar 2023
Interview
I did an in-person group interview at one of their branch locations. They give you the interview questions 5-10 minutes before your interview so you can prep. There were 3 other people in the room who alternated asking me questions. It felt very friendly and conversational.
