You'll apply on the state's website. If you're eligible, HR will reach out to get you to complete a questionnaire. Make sure to save your answers, especially if you're applying to the same agency since they tend to be repetitive. If you're a priority candidate, the manager at your local department might call you for an in-person interview. Some agencies also do a phone screening.

The interview was good! It was about 30 minutes long, and they had everything organized. Two people interviewed me and they each asked two questions, so that's four questions in total. The questions were good and right to the point, so we could talk about them without a lot of extra chat.

I submitted my application online. After that, I had a first round interview that was basically a set of questions about the job itself. Then, I got an email about a second round interview and scheduled a virtual meeting. While waiting, I was sent consent forms for a background check. The virtual interview itself was with three people from the company. They mentioned there would be more interviews and that I'd be notified by email if an offer was coming. The interviewers really emphasized how important flexibility, adaptation, time management, and organization are for this role. The women I spoke with were really nice and respectful the whole time.
