Technical Behavioral
The interview process involved a long written test followed by a face-to-face interview with a panel of three people. The written part asked for clear subject matter answers relevant to the job. Some questions felt more like a final exam than a typical hiring assessment, making me wonder if it could really gauge job skills accurately. The in-person interview seemed pretty standard for the industry, with common questions. The panel seemed to be evaluating my overall professional and personal presence and how I'd fit into their work environment. No major surprises there.

First, they review the resumes to see who fits the job best. Then, there's an initial chat, maybe by phone or video, just to check the basics like pay expectations and if you're available. After that, it could be a technical or behavioral interview with HR, the hiring manager, or both. This part checks your skills, past jobs, and if you'd fit in. They might even do a test or a group activity. Finally, they compare everyone who was interviewed and decide together who's the best person for the role.

The application process was cumbersome. After navigating their applicant system and submitting all the required information, months went by and I never received a word from the State regarding my application or the status of the job. The only way I knew the position was closed was when I saw a LinkedIn announcement from someone living in California that he had accepted the position. In today's environment, the State of Montana simply must treat its applicants better...
