I interviewed at State of Michigan
One single interview with 3 interview panelists. It took about an hour. I heard back on the job about a week and a half later. I accepted and then started about a month after that. Overall easy interview process,

Anonymous Employee
I applied online. I interviewed at State of Michigan
There was 12 or so questions, but the last three were questions they "had" to ask from the state (e.g. do you have a valid driver's license). The rest were basic interview questions.
- What's one of your weaknesses?
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at State of Michigan
Applied in January then had panel interview in February. Job offer in late March. Delay was due to being second choice in process. Everyone was great and friendly, but the state refuses to pay qualified candidates a decent wage. Lowballed and not given right level by Civil Service. Does not value education only work experience.
- Given an assignment to test ArcGis knowledge.
Anonymous Employee

The interview was in depth, but pleasant. Typical questions like can you describe a time when you thought you had too much work, and how did you handle it? Several previous experience questions.
- How I felt I could contribute to a culture of diversity.
Anonymous Employee
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at State of Michigan in Mar 2022
It consisted of four people asking me questions like a normal interview. They were all super nice and they asked me about situations in my past work experience and how they would relate to different scenarios they gave me.
- Tell us about a time where you had to deal with an angry coworker/customer. How did you handle it? What did you say to them?
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at State of Michigan
Took absolutely forever to get any correspondence from them; almost four months to contact me for an interview. Typical state employer interview, standard questions. Met with three attorneys and talked about past experience. Never responded to repeated inquiries on hiring progress.
- This was awhile back, don't remember specific questions; figure standard interview questions, particularly for lawyers.
Anonymous Employee

super easy long wait many people read questions first before interview this is really not what I want to do it find out about a company it is really annoying
- tell me about yourself and why are you here
Anonymous Employee in Lansing, MI
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at State of Michigan (Lansing, MI)
Based on the STARs method. They will just ask you about yourself and how you are as a worker. It is not difficult just come prepared but don’t be scripted.
- What was an experience you had where you were overloaded and how did you overcome it?
