Texas Department of Public Safety Customer Support Representative Interview Questions
& Process

I applied and got an interview letter about two weeks later, asking for my hire and salary package. They also sent a background check form, which is 35 pages long and asks for work, personal, school, and criminal history. I'm waiting to hear back about the background check, which also included fingerprinting.

It was a panel interview with three interviewers. They asked questions that were two-part: first, a definition of a word, and second, why it's important for the position. I had the interview one day and got the decision the next day. I had a feeling they had already picked someone for the job and just had to interview me. Even though I have over 10 years of DL experience in Oklahoma with no complaints, they picked someone with more skills and experience. I suspect it was someone's friend, cousin, or sister who needed a job.

I applied online July 10th and heard back July 16th about an in-person interview scheduled for July 30th. Then, on August 1st, I got another email saying I wasn't selected. The interview started with a physical test where I had to lift a box that was supposed to be 50 pounds but felt lighter, around 20 pounds. It was a 3-person panel interview, as I expected from my research. One supervisor from another DPS office was reading questions really fast, so I had to ask her to repeat them twice because she seemed rushed. Another person, a young lead, didn't even look at me and seemed uninterested, maybe bored. The only person who seemed engaged was the actual supervisor for the team. The whole experience wasn't great; it felt like they were just going through the motions. Each person asked three questions, which were pretty straightforward and not nerve-wracking. It was actually a relief after it was over, as I don't think it would have been a good fit long-term given the interviewers' attitudes.
