I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cook County Medical Examiner (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2024
Interview
It was a panel interview, which included 3 people. One of those people was the medical examiner herself. They asked me a series of about 8-10 questions, which they must ask all the candidates the same questions.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cook County Medical Examiner (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2018
Interview
I was interviewed by 4-6 individuals in a group setting with each individual having various questions that seemed to be from a script they each shared. They reviewed my resume aloud and asked questions from it. They then asked me questions pertaining to the job position. I believe that they were confused why a person with my educational level wanted an entry level position. I though the overall interview went well.
