I applied online through the Majority Leader job bulletin board and heard back in two days with an interview request. The first interview was virtual with the Comms Director and Leg Director. Then, less than a week later, I had an in-person interview with the Chief of Staff. That interview lasted an hour, and then I had to do a writing assessment which involved writing a floor speech, making a social graphic, and writing a press statement.

Behavioral Presentation
My resume got passed along to the Chief of Staff by someone I knew from a previous interview where I didn't get an offer. First, there was a phone screen. Then, I interviewed with the COS and the Deputy COS. After that, I met with those two plus the Member. I got an offer just a few days after the Member interview. The whole thing took about a month.
