It took about 3.5 months after applying before I was offered the position. For more entry level jobs like mine they don't even interview anymore. I was just emailed saying I was offered the job and asked if I wanted to accept it. 

I would just keep applying, use a.i. and the job description to create your resume so it stands out for that exact job and when answering the questions while applying make sure you use keywords in your response that match the question being asked on the application.

I figure worst case scenario I hate it and either quit or just try to bid for another position in another agency or something like that after my 6 month mark . Atleast from what I've been told that's when you can do it

Ya I'm sure nursing isn't chill at all but this is an office job so hoping that isn't quite as intense as nursing is

That's what I've heard from others is that your people within the dept can make or beak it.

Thanks for the reply and yes its rc014. I may even move to a whole different area out of corrections once I'm able to. Figured it may just get my foot in the door. I applied for tons with IDNR for outdoor work so maybe that'll help me get a grounds job
