I applied through other source. I interviewed at Pasco County, Florida (New Port Richey, FL) in Feb 2026
Interview
Basic phone screen with in person interview the following week after a data analysis test. Met with hiring managers and a separate interview with team. Even though the interview was very successful I wasn't selected, likely in lieu of an internal candidate. It's very common for municipalities to do this, very clubbish and a waste of everyone's time.
They have you tie a tool like and axe or halligan to make sure you remember how to do that from fire academy and also know the missions statement of pasco county fire rescue
Learned of the position through a news article. Was directed to a job fair in Land O Lakes. They were supposed to be doing on-site interviews but that was not the case. Met with several department leaders and ended up sharing five copies of my resume with five different leaders. Was informed that I had to apply online for county employment. on the plus side I ended up applying for five different positions! All's well that ends well!
