Washington State Department of Social and Health Services ITS4 Interview

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 1+ week)

Was given an offer letter after the phone interview. I asked for pictures so that I would have some idea of the environment. They sent the pictures and they were insufficient. So, I requested that they check into a in-person interview. After checking with HR they determined that they could pay for an interview trip. I flew to Washington and met with the boss and the folks I would work with. I spoke briefly with a man smoking outside the building as I was leaving. He asked how the interview went and I said it was disappointing because I could not meet with HR to learn about the benefits. It turn out that he was a third level HR manager. He immediately arranged for me to sit with HR and learn about the benefits. After returning home I accepted the offer and started work seven days later. (Had to move from Texas in that time, at my own expense.)
