Las Vegas was cool. I passed the PAT and had a psych. eval. and interview. An academy starts in Dec. and I hope I'm in it.

How did things work out in NV? I decided to apply there. I got an email saying that I'm eligible. All I'm waiting for is a phone call now. Can you tell me what the process is like as far as interview and tests and things?

Thanks

Hey, I was just on NV's website. What institution are you applying to? They are saying there are immediate opening at Lovelock and Ely. Are you going for one of those, or are you trying to get closer to the Vegas area?

Man, that sucks about the freeze! I was also considering Nevada and Washington. Both of those states pay very well compared to other states. The only reason I had AZ at the top of my list is because I'll be in that area in about 2 weeks. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone; vaca and application. How did they set you up in the process? It took them 30-45 days to set you up with an exam, or the entire process?

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I'm going out west at the end of the month on a road trip. I'm going to apply with AZ. If I don't get the job there, I'm definitely going to look into that. It would be a big stepping stone.

Jake,
I know you applied with PADOC. If you just need experience MODOC has a program called correctional worker paying $1988 a month. When you start the academy within 3 mos. it goes to $2167 and you can just walk into a prison and get the job.

I noticed you're trying to move out to Las Vegas in the nixt six months, or so. Are you trying to get a job with the DOC? I'm not a CO. I'm currently in the process with PA DOC, but I was also considering relocating to Las Vegas within 6-12 months. All of this depends how things go with PA. If I get the job, I'll probably wait a year and then relocate out there. I'm trying to gather some info on NV DOC, if I find anything out I'll fill you in... Jake
