How important is it to have knowledge of local government issues for a state-level job? I'm prepping for an interview for a state agency position next week, and I'm wondering how much I need to dive into local politics and issues. Last year, I heard a candidate mention that they were questioned on specific local policies, which caught them off guard. Should I spend the next few days brushing up on recent legislation and community concerns, or focus more on my direct job skills? Would love to hear how others approached this in their interviews!

If you're in communications, I would definitely go in prepared to respond to questions about current local issues. You don't need to be an expert in everything but you should show familiarity with ongoing and pressing issues in the local community.

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Have my closing interview with Accenture next week.
