Interviewed Aug 2011 in Austin, TX (took 1 week)
Met with manager and one employee. Questions were predetermined. As with any state job, the questions were rated and points given. Depending on the number of question that were answered correctly will determine if you are eligible for the position. All eligible applicants are then called back for 2nd interview. As I was a quick hire, no 2nd interview required.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
I had to sit in a cubicle and take a skills test which consisted of creating several spreadsheets with different graphs. It was fairly difficult in the amount of time they gave me - I think they wanted it to be a situation where you really couldn't finish in time, to see what you thought would be the most important elements of the task. Then I had the panel interview. There were three gentlemen on the panel, and one HR rep who did all the talking. It was a non-interactive interview, meaning no one could ask me questions or talk to me. The HR rep gave me a binder that had around 11 interview questions that I would first read, then respond to. I was given an amount of time (around 45 minutes) in which to answer all of my questions, and I had to watch my own time. The panel had check lists of things that they checked off while I talked and wrote notes. It was very structured and formal. Memorizing the official job opening notice and touching on all of those elements appears to be the key to doing well in a state of Texas job interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 3 days)
Interviewed by 2 individuals, very nice. Questions were a little open ended and in retrospect, difficult to stay focused on what I should have been talking about.
My advice would be to study the components of this position, and be ready to taylor your work experience to this fit this position.
Be ready to answer stuff like "What is good customer service?"
Don't go down that negative path, lesson too late for me.
Good luck.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 4 weeks)
The interview process with Offic of Inspector General is pleasant and there is always communication with management throughout the process. The office is compliance oriented and emphasis on doing the right thing. This is not a relaxed government office. Staff is held accountable and performance results must be met.
