Kristie is the current Public Records Officer and a Legal Services Supervisor for the King County Prosecuting Attorney\u2019s Office (KCPAO). Having worked for the KCPAO since 1997, Kristie has held many positions which include: Office Manager and Staff Supervisor of the Juvenile Division (2013-2015), Public Records Officer (2008-2013), and Criminal Division Paralegal (2003-2008).

Kristie is passionate about helping others and finds that her work with the KCPAO allows her the opportunity to work with, and help, a diverse group of individuals.<br> <br> Kristie shared her experiences at KCPAO, a place where she has thrived professionally. From civil to criminal matters, she is responsible for locating and disseminating public records that can make a difference in people\u2019s lives. Currently, Kristie supervises nine staff members and two interns and enjoys supporting their career development. As a supervisor, she has participated in many hiring processes and provided this advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n\t\tWhen interviewing, discuss the organization\u2019s mission and how you identify with it.  Interviewers want to hear your alignment with and enthusiasm for their work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n\t\tCustomer service experience is an asset in public service, so don\u2019t undersell it!  It shows that you have people skills and can manage conflict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n\t\tBe a stickler for grammar and spelling in your resumes and cover letters.  One mistake can cost you an interview.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n\t\tPrioritize an entry-level job over an internship. It will provide you access and job security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n\t\tIf you don\u2019t have office skills, volunteer to gain this competency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\tKristie Johnson (&#039;07, <a href=\"\/societyethicsbehavior\">Society, Ethics &amp; Human Behavior<\/a>) visited campus to share her career journey in the public sector.
