State of Nevada Interview Questions
& Process

after applying it was months of waiting for an interview- It also took me months to straighten out why I was being denied for positions..they needed to see something with what my degree was in. My unofficial transcripts was not enough. After the interview- there was a case worker writing prompt.

The interview process started with a phone call screening to explain the WSR I DVOP position and its pay. Because of COVID-19, the job wouldn't start until returning to the office, but help with unemployment (DETR) was available in the meantime. Then, a Zoom interview was set up with the department manager and two other senior staff members. This lasted about 30-45 minutes and involved questions about the role, such as 'Describe a time when,' 'explain how you would handle,' 'have you ever been involved,' and 'how much experience do you have with.' After the interview, I was told they'd follow up in a few weeks. I initially got an email saying I wasn't selected, but then they contacted me over a month later to see if I was still interested because of a system error with the emails. They let me know that if I were still interested, the position wouldn't start until the second week of March. Timeline: Applied 9/02/2020, Phone screening 11/20/2020, Zoom interview 12/03/2020, Not selected follow-up 12/31/2020, Asked if still interested 02/05/2021, Follow up intent to offer 02/11/2020. It's currently February 22, 2020, and I'm waiting for a call the first week of March.

So for the application, you gotta have a typing certificate, I got mine from an employment agency. When you fill out the application, don't just copy paste your resume. You gotta get super detailed about every single task you did at your past and current jobs. Like, write a whole book about it, don't use abbreviations or acronyms, so they know exactly what you did without knowing your job. Then for the interview, they email you asking for specific documents. Make sure your references match your application, 'cause they check 'em the day of the interview. I got there super early and ended up waiting forever. Like, 10 minutes before my interview they asked for my documents. Since I'm bilingual, they gave me 10 minutes to translate a document. Then they gave me some stuff to read while the panel looked at my documents. There were 3 people on the panel, and then they brought in another person just to check my second language skills. They gave me some info, then told me they'd ask me 6 questions, which were already in front of me so I could follow along. It took a month from when I applied to get the interview. They said I'd hear back in a month, and would start a month after that. So 3 months total from applying. The questions aren't exact, but here's what I remember:

The hiring process for this role can be lengthy. I applied and heard back about a test about 3 months later, and then about a month after that, I was invited to an interview. The interview was scheduled for about an hour before my actual interview time. The invitation mentioned a time to review paperwork, but this is quick (15-20 mins) if all your documents are in order. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant and helpful. The interview itself was conducted by a panel of three people and included standard, logical questions. It's important to be familiar with the department's mission statement. I was informed of the decision within the expected timeframe.
