It was good, they had me come in person. There was a sheet of questions that you looked at for 5 minutes, then they would go down the list and you ask them one after another. They aren’t really able to ask follow ups due to “fairness” policies, so be very descriptive in your answers.

Behavioral

The interview was very disorganized and the interviewers were not friendly. The interview was base on behavioral questions. They asked about your future goals and the Mayor's current policy. So you should be aware of what he is doing and the programs that he created.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What program did the Governor create, and can you tell us about it?
  • Do you know what the press room does?

The interview process was fair. I applied online and then had to submit a proposal on how to improve a part of the city. Then I went into the office and was interviewed for about 30 min.
