1. They want to know if you understand the role of the position and all that it entails. I pulled this from a site to help clarify the role: The City Clerk's Office maintains all documents necessary for the effective administration and operation of municipal government, provides support to the Mayor and Council, and aids in the delivery of effective government services. In addition, the City Clerk's Office conducts regular and special municipal elections, stores and secures all City documents in a systematic and easily accessible manner in accordance with City standards. I tried to break yours down a little: Technical (ability to provide info from needed documents - manual and technical) and administrative know-how while giving great internal customer service and assisting in overseeing support staff. Duties include but are not limited to: agenda process, assisting with the department’s budget, conduct the recruitment process for the City’s boards and Commissions and assist with City elections. . Strong technical, analytical, communication, and writing skills are needed. Must be flexible in schedule and able to become notary and passport agent.
