I applied through other source. I interviewed at Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (Waco, TX) in Jun 2025
Interview
Got this interview from the Transitions Hiring Program for recent grads. In-person interview. About an hour total. Three interviewers asking basic interview questions (what makes you qualified for this job, why do you want to work for the TCEQ, a time when you disagreed with a coworker and how you moved forward, etc). Then one written answer question at the end. They leave the room and give you some time to write. Interviewers were nice, professional, and had a great dynamic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Presented with a situation you may encounter in the job, and what you would do in response. Something along the lines of: You inspect a site that you determine to have fallen short of meeting environmental and safety standards. The facility owner lets you know that if he/she were to fix the problems, they would have to shut the facility down. How do you respond to this situation?
