I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wisconsin DOR (Madison, WI) in May 2014
Interview
You get an interview by taking a civil service exam, not by submitting a resume. Make sure you specify all the cities you'd be willing to work in...I was only 130th on the exam score ranking, but I still got an interview because I broadened by location preferences. The interview itself is pretty standard, and they give you a list of the questions before they start asking them. There's also a writing assessment at the end.

Question 1
Interview questions are prepared. You are given a sheet with the questions on them so that you can read them ahead and have your answers ready. Long answer will give the interviewers more time to write, which is better,=.
