I finally got the call/email to schedule my first interview for public dispatcher with CHP. I was surprised because several weeks ago I called their HR to learn the hiring process. HR said they don’t hire in bulk and train in big groups. They hire to backfill…. And internal applicants or lateral transfers are priority and usually openings are just one to three spots. I figured there isn’t a chance in hell if I am in line with just over 1000 other applicants on the eligibility list.

Maybe I still don’t have a chance and the interview is just because they need to stay HR compliant.

If anyone went through the first interview, can you share what’s next and any other tips
