I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (Tumwater, WA) in Apr 2009
Interview
First, I had to take a skills test to make it into the candidate pool. The test consisted of three parts: a basic math test (multiple choice), a business letter writing test, and a multiple choice test where I had to show that I understood how to read the Revised Code of Washington and the Washington Administrative Code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The question were pretty standard. They generally were questions asking how you would respond in certain situations. There were no trick questions or anything unexpected.
