It was a pretty straightforward process. There was an interview panel, and they sent the interview questions about 15 minutes before the interview started. I got hired. Sometimes, the wait for selection and scheduling can be a bit long, but typically there are 1-2 interviews. The interviewers were kind. The questions were direct and related to the job and the position.

Getting a job with the state typically involves closely monitoring state job postings for a few months and applying for any suitable positions. Advancement is usually possible, with preference given to internal candidates, so consider taking a role below your qualification level. After submitting your online application, you might be invited for a panel or group interview. During these, interviewers will ask predictable questions, often behaviorally focused on how you've handled specific situations, but sometimes assessing technical skills depending on the job. Finalists often have second or even third interviews. Job offers are conditional upon passing a background check, which includes criminal history, allegations of abuse, and references.

I first applied online, submitting my documents. Then, I had a phone chat with the hiring manager. After that, I had an initial interview with three team members, and then a second interview with two people, one of whom was the hiring manager. Lastly, they ran a background check before making me a job offer.
