I applied online. I interviewed at US Census Bureau
Interview
They just called me on the phone and asked yes or no questions about whether or not I was willing or able to do the job. There was only one interview for my position. It did take a long time to get information on when I was starting and where I should go for work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Yes/no questions like:
Have you used Microsoft Excel before?
This job requires lifting up to 30lbs and occasionally standing for long periods of time, are you willing and able to do these tasks?
No interview - signed up for and took a test at the local employment office. Applied only for an office job as I didn't have a license at the time (required for enumerators). Got a perfect score on the test, which was fairly easy. Got a call back about an enumerator job, which I couldn't do. It was several months before they untangled the problem and offered me the office job I applied for.
