Changes in procedure

I have another written test scheduled as the first step of the interview process for my county library system here in Cleveland. In the past when I took the tests, there was one scheduled time where everyone had to show up... if you couldn't make it, oh well... and the testing took place at the system's Administration building. Now, this time, you can show up anytime over two days and you must go directly to the branch that is hiring. No appointment is needed and you simply go right to the reference desk to ask for the test and are then given an hour to take it. Although, now that I think about it, how strict are they going to be about that? It's not like the reference librarian has nothing better to do than to watch the clock on this test-taker. It's an interesting change. Obviously this allows for more people to show up as they can come at their convenience. On the down side, I will have no idea how many people I'll be competing against.
