I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Took a basic skills test. Contains clerical, simple math, and map problems. Really easy. Still waiting on a phone call. However the process can take from a week to months, so keep your watches on deck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When are you available to work?
Are you a U.S Citizen?
Are you at or above 18 years old?
The interview was short, took place over the phone, and involved several situational prompts from a single interviewer, most regarding past job experience or how one would handle a hypothetical situation in the field or otherwise.
