Minnesota IT Services interview questions

They ask you only 10 questions. Many questions were not related to the job description they post. This interviews with state departments are really different from the ones that we face in other organizations.60% of the questions were behavioral and other were technical.

I applied on Minnesota’s state jobs website and got an email a week or so later asking when I’m available. We scheduled the interview for 1 or 2 weeks later. They said to plan for an hour although they rarely took the whole time. I think it ended up being around a half hour or so. The interview was done with multiple people. They introduced themselves and then asked me to introduce myself. They had a PowerPoint presentation with the interview questions on them so I could read them (the wording of the questions was long). The questions were mostly focused on how I would explain technical concepts to non-technical people and how I would work in a team. I thought I did okay. Overall, the interviewers were friendly. At the end, they said that they would wrap up interviews with the other candidates over the next week and then make a decision. They said each of my answers were given a score and that they would compare the total scores of the candidates. They ended up getting back to me slightly less than a month later.
