how to become a probation officer in west virginia?

Answer 1

First make sure you qualify. No criminal record, appropriate degrees, and able to meet the job requirements.

Next apply. Get appropriate attire together (business suit / dress), practice answering interview questions, and get a good haircut a few day before the interview. Good grooming is a must.

If you are not hired or even called for an interview, then they either hired the best candidate or are not hiring at this time. You might want to try a neighboring county or state. Good luck!

Answer 2

it is a very competitive position, there will be hundreds of applicatoins for any one opening

There should be a state test that you have to take after you put in your application, getting an interview will all be up to the test mostly.

You will need at least a BS degree and normally prior military or law enforcement is a plus ( although some departmetns also look at social service agency experience
