Mostly relevant questions mixed with some that where just out there. Describe your process for how you would make a sandwich? Interview was pretty casual and not intimidating. I interviewed for two positions and one was held online with Zoom meetings and the other was a five person panel interview.

Sat in room with four people. They asked the usual quesions like tell me about a time you didn't get along with your boss and how you handled it. Also, they asked a hypothetical question without a lot of context.
- They broadly asked about my familiarity with common software.

Took two months to get an interview. You're entered into a pool and different agencies can pick you to interview. If an agency doesn't pick you, then you are put back into the pool.
- If they give you a definition of something, remember the definition and be prepared to explain "what you think" about it.

First, a phone call from an administrative assistant setting up the interview and logistics. Second, a 30 min to 1 hour long phone interview with a panel of managers, very casual. They asked about my experience with SAS programming and behavioral questions.
- What is your experience with SAS programming?

There were three people at the interview each person asked a specific question and then the next would. They were waiting to see your answer, it felt a little uncomfortable at times. The wait to find out if you got the job is very long,.
- How would you handle a difficult situation?

Took about one year to hear back. The interview ran about 40 minutes long. The panel said they really wanted to hire me and then three weeks later got an email they didn't. Which honestly was a bummer.
- Why do you want to work here?

You get to write out the answers to the questions before the interview. It was overall an easy and good experience. I was less nervous after being able to see the questions first.
- Describe a time you worked in a group.

I applied for the job and got a call from HR about 2 weeks after the job posting closed. I scheduled a video interview for a week later. During the interview, I was on camera but the interviewers were not. SO unprofessional. Like at least put a picture of yourself up or just do a phone interview! The interview itself was pretty brutal. 14 questions and at least 10 were behavioral. No chit chat or small talk. Basically just question after question with no feedback or conversation whatsoever. I’m extremely qualified for the position but did not get an offer. I would bet that they already had someone internal pegged for the job.
- Tell me about a time you disagreed with a supervisor
- Tell me about a time you solved a challenging problem

I applied online. I interviewed at State of Nevada (Las Vegas, NV) in Dec 2020
The first portion of the interview was a phone call screening to advise me of what the position would consist of (WSR I DVOP) and the pay rate. Also due to COVID-19, the position would not be worked until returning to the office but in the meantime, there would be assistance with the unemployment department (DETR). Then an actual zoom interview was scheduled. The zoom interview was with the department manager and two other high positions in the department. It was about 30-45 minutes long of being asked questions pertaining to the position. Describe a time when, explain how you would handle, have you ever been involved, how much experience do you have with, etc. The interview concluded and I was told they would follow up in a few weeks. I received an email stating I was not selected but then was contacted a little over a month later asking if I was still interested in the position due to an issue with the system sending out the wrong emails. I was informed if I was interested, there wouldn’t be movement towards starting until the second week of March. Timeline of Events: - 9/02/2020 - APPLIED - 11/20/2020 - PHONE CALL SCREENING - 12/03/2020 - ZOOM INTERVIEW - 12/31/2020 - NOT SELECTED FOLLOW-UP - 02/05/2021 - ASKED IF STILL INTERESTED - 02/11/2020 - FOLLOW UP INTENT TO OFFER It is February 22, 2020 & I’m currently waiting to hear back. Should be getting a call the first week of March.
