Question 1
One question was about how your education translates to this position. Others were about handling a complaint, as well as what to do if someone with political connections has an infraction. The last one I can remember dealt with naming the most common south Florida seaweeds and shoreline plants.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Miami Dade County (Miami, FL)
Interview
Panel interview with a representative from HR, my prospective boss, her boss, and a senior biologist. We sat in a conference room and they gave me the questions in writing so I could think about what I was going to say. That was nice because I took my time in formulating long-winded intelligent responses. The way these interviews are ranked, I believe it's best to verbally showcase as much of your knowledge as possible.

Question 1
One question I was asked was: "Pick one South Florida ecosystem and describe its characteristics." I was also asked how I'd handle an angry customer, how I'd handle a political figure who needed information, among a few other things. There were not a lot of questions so the panel wanted to hear a lot on each topic. There was ample time to talk which was great. At the end I was given the opportunity to ask my own questions, and did so, which seemed to make a great impression.
