Technical Behavioral
It was a 2 part interview. The first part was an audit assessment, which involved a scenario where a sample agency had to meet 3 objectives to get licenses. You're given data and an objective like 'Agency must have applicant be over 18 years old to obtain license'. Then, within the data, you'll find sample applicants with a DOB missing or who are under 18. You need to spot the problem and suggest a fix, e.g., 'Agency should have another employee double check/review application before processing'. It's pretty straightforward if you look at it closely and objectively.

I was interviewed during my college's spring break in my senior year. The whole process was a standard, step-by-step thing. The interviewers were pretty unengaging and didn't really budge on anything. It was a typical government-style interview, with a points-based evaluation for candidates.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Did you have to take a written assessment test?
- Did you have to take a verbal assessment test?
