I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Douglas County Assessor (Omaha, NE) in Nov 2008
Interview
The interview process was fairly simple. If you have a background with real estate knowledge you will do fine. They will test your knowledge of basic construction techniques, styles, etc. You will not really be asked any difficult questions. It's more of a personality fit test than anything else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the various roof types in residential construction?
