I sent in my application back in October 2018. Then, in December, I got an email about a test. About two months after that, I got a call for an interview. Two supervisors interviewed me, and they went back and forth asking me questions about child neglect and family issues. After the interview, they asked if I had any questions, but they didn't say when I'd hear back. It's been three months now, and I still haven't received any notification about whether I passed or failed. The whole process took way too long, and communication was really poor.

The interview process involves 3 interviewers and takes a bit of time. There are different tests. I only met one more person in the interview room. The interview itself was pretty good. Make sure to dress appropriately. Be friendly and smile. Respond concisely and efficiently. Expect standard questions for state jobs. Be ready for these. I would recommend applying for this position if you are motivated to serve the public. Remember to bring your required documents.
