Application

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at State of Oregon in Apr 2022

Interview

I applied on the company website. A month later a HR reached out to me first saying that she was overwhelmed with applications and she would definitely review my materials. Two weeks later the hiring manager emailed a data exercise to be completed within 3 days. In the email the hiring manager said if an applicant is moving forward he/she will be contacted in a week, but I never hear back from the hiring manager again.

Interview Questions
  • I did not get an interview. The data exercise was using the given excel file with 3 spreadsheets to answer 6 questions. The excel file was about different racial groups (~130) and the numbers/percentages of the languages spoken/written; interpreter needs; etc. And use whatever visualization program to create plots using the data in the excel file.

I applied online. I interviewed at State of Oregon

Interview

First interview involved recording a series of 3 minute videos of myself answering questions. Kind of bizarre to not have an actual interviewer on the other end. The questions were pretty complex for just a 3 minute answer.

The question is "Why us (the company name)? I've been told use the mission and values as a reply. However, I was also told that this was a cliché reply. Any other way to go about this? How do you formulate your reply?
