I applied in-person. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at State of California in Dec 2017
Interview
Been on the list for three years. Multiple interviews with 2-5 person panels. Usually there is an MS Office Suite software or handwriting test.
I’ve been steadily interviewing for three years with the State of California for all kinds of positions. I have received a wall full of rejection letters with little or no explanation as to why
I was not offered each position. As a pledge of good faith, I have emailed or called back to get feedback. This process usually does not lead anywhere. If anyone could post a real review on how to actually get hired, I’d appreciate it. I am a college graduate in my mid thirties with a varied clerical work history including office management.
