I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Randall County Juvenile Probation (Amarillo, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
Rigorous. Original interview with personnel that was your standard interview plus a writing sample. The next interview was a panel that lasted about an hour with questions rephrased over and over. Very subjective questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you publicly consume alcohol? If so and you are in a restaurant where a probationer is eating, would you consume it?
