I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Portland Development Commission (Portland, OR) in Oct 2010
Interview
Hiring process took 4 months, with 2 panel interviews (3 and 5 people). That was a while ago, though it's not much speedier today. Trust that things really are happening, but keep checking in with HR. Lots of squishy behavioral interview questions, but sometimes managers give tests or problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever made a mistake in your job? How did you handle it?
