Submitted resume and cover letter via Jobs WA. Had an in-person interview with a panel. The whole process took a while, which seems normal for government jobs.

Presentation

I assume the interview process is similar to most government hiring procedures. It involved about 15 minutes to prepare answers for several questions, followed by a 30-minute presentation of those answers to a panel. It often feels pointless to apply if you're already performing the role, as those candidates are frequently selected.

Other Behavioral

There was a questionnaire to download from the job listing, with 5 short-answer questions that could be completed anytime before the deadline. After that, if it was reviewed successfully, I was called in for a casual chat about my skills and experience. It seemed like most of the selection was based on the questionnaire.

Technical Behavioral

I had a panel interview with 3 people. They each had very different reactions to my answers, making it clear some were interested and others weren't. I left feeling really uncertain about how it went, but honestly, I wasn't shocked when I didn't get an offer.
