Aisha Jallow
Engineer-in-Training I
Division of Infrastructure Management
What made you want to work for the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service?
Having worked
in past environments that were customer service, I found that I very much
enjoyed serving people. Working for the
City, and this Department, is an opportunity to expand my committment to serving a larger population
Plus, the
City workforce is wonderfully diverse.
I’ve found my coworkers to be friendly and respectful. It is a very positive work environment here. Further, this role has great opportunity for
professional development.
How did you apply for your job? What was the process?
I applied
using the online portal, but also made sure to attend the City Wide Career
Fair. This was a huge help in my
opinion. It gave me the chance to directly meet hiring managers and learn more about the process.
Overall,
things went pretty quickly, I had an interview in June and was offered a
position shortly after that.
