This is fire marshal type stuff.
I'm not familiar with what it takes, but I would imagine that type of a role is pretty high level. So, lot's of folks need to approve/sign off before an offer is made. Just my guess.

Fire Marshall Bill, is that you?This is fire marshal type stuff.
I don't think that's a long wait for a government job. If you call HR, they can probably give you a pretty good idea about what the timeline would be.When they say "a few weeks"? Been waiting 2 weeks to hear back about a County job. Honestly don't really care if I get it or not but can't really make plans until I know.
I figured it was about 50/50 anymore with that. All you can really say is "I wouldn't hire this person again" right? I wasn't sure if this being a government job and in California they would have more rules for HR people regarding checks.
Update! They want to do second interview with me next week and I told them to piss off. I don't have time for a 8 month hiring process.

Why did the process take 4 months? Just curious.I was just on the other side of the interview situation -- but without direct hiring authority. We'll be making an offer on Monday to a candidate I originally interviewed in July. My take is the candidate was persistent and polite enough without being a pest.
On the other hand I though my our senior management was going to drive me crazy.
I'm making the assumption that it's highly doubtful anyone would be on this site. But the best candidate does not have a degree. Our senior managers had trouble with that. We require skills and other assessments, background checks, etc. Combine managerial reluctance with red tape and you have a 4-month cycle.Why did the process take 4 months? Just curious.
