Easy Interview
Application
InterviewI applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at State of California in Jul 2014
I sent a resume and application. I was called in for an interview about two weeks later. The interview was very easy. I was interviewed by two people. It consisted of 6 questions. I was handed a list of the questions to look at. I could look ahead at the upcoming questions while they were writing down my answers.
Interview Questions
- None of them were unexpected. They asked about computer experience, what to do if I was asked to provide confidention information to someone not authorized to have it.
