J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Sandy Springs Police Department (Sandy Springs, Fulton, GA) en juill. 2016
Entretien
Applied online, interviewed in person and was chosen for the position. This entails filling out a background packet that goes back in your history to fifth grade so it takes a few days. Then they start the background. After a few weeks, the background is wrapped up and you are scheduled for your polygraph and then psych exam and drug test. Beware: something that I went over from my youth (experimenting with drugs, 28 years ago - average teen age curiosity level type thing) in my interview disqualified me BUT they continued the process and wasting my time and tax payer dollars with the process even though I should not have even been called back from the beginning. I got to almost the end, I passed the polygraph and a contingent offer of employment (about 5 weeks in) when I was told there was "miscommunication" and I am no longer considered due to the fact I tried a drug when I was 16 and this was information they had from the interview, 5 weeks earlier. With a passed polygraph, they knew that I was truthful AND that I only tried a drug as a child. They also knew that in adulthood, I am not even a drinker. (These are questions in the polygraph test) While they have a truly drug free force (as in never even tried a drug) they are, obviously, incompetent. I have been an investigator for over 15 years so I know the process well and that would not have slipped past me or any of my former coworkers. Keep in mind this was only for a Records Clerk position that pays what I was making in 2001 and not a police officer or investigator position. It would have been nice to have a job right down the street from home and I really liked the person that I originally interviewed with but, in the end, I would have left the job if that level of incompetency was in every department in the police department.
