      Associate Governmental Program Analyst Interview

      23 Nov 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Sacramento, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CDSS (Sacramento, CA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      I submitted the application via mail after taking the online exam for the position. I was able to view the questions 15 minutes prior to the interview. There were 9 questions and then I completed a 30 min writing assignment. The questions were mostly behavioral or situational and they all linked back to the position. Interview talked about my strengths as they pertained to the position. Interview looked at the way I research, how I divide work (7 steps of staff work), competencies of analyst, teamwork, and how I managed time. Do your research on department and the work involved!

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      If some of the team you collaborate with came back to you after a presentation and had several questions (some repetitive), what conclusions would you draw and what would you do about it?

      Question 2

      Describe a situation that you were required to research an issue that you did not know about. Describe the issue and the steps that you took to complete the assignment. What was the result?
