I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Census Bureau
Interview
I was not contacted until several months after initial application; interview questions were not intense, only asking if I was capable of completing the work required. Interviewer was friendly, and the interview itself took no more than 10 minutes.
The interview was short, took place over the phone, and involved several situational prompts from a single interviewer, most regarding past job experience or how one would handle a hypothetical situation in the field or otherwise.
