I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caltrans in Nov 2014
Interview
I was not very confident during the interview; however, I got through it with God's help. Having good grades helps. They asked me a few questions. The interview lasted less than 15 minutes. It took a little less than two weeks for them to call me to inform me that I got the job. Make sure you pray a lot before the interview. If it's God's will, you will get the job. If it's not His will, then you won't get the job. Being at peace with His will is what gives peace.
Simple, zoom interview took place with two people. Asked about previous work experience, relevant coursework, and what I am hoping to get out of the position. It was about 30 minutes long and they were very communicative after the process.
