text: First make sure you qualify.  No criminal record, appropriate degrees, and able to meet the job requirements.\n\nNext 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.  \n\nIf 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!
