Hello all! I have been searching for a job for about 2 months now, I had a handful of interviews and applied to over 30+ positions. I am a single mother so my budget is tight and now more difficult moving into the 3rd month. I do have an interview coming soon and I would like to ask if anyone knows what exactly is an oral examination, what does the approach look like? This is for a county job that I am praying to get. Any suggestions or help are welcomed. Thank you

Congrats on landing an interview! That’s a huge step. I understand your situation about the job search and budget. Unfortunately, I can’t help with the specifics of an oral examination for a county job. But you might find Jobsolv helpful for your next job search if you fail (hopefully not). They offer a free smart job board and resume tools. Good luck with the interview!

Oral examination means that. You will have to answer oral questions about your trade. So I am a program manager in project management. So I would expect questions about project management methodology. Not sure what program manager is for you because program is used for so many things. It could be healthcare or nonprofit.
