I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tennessee State Government (Nashville, TN) in May 2012
Interview
Relaxed interview, conversational, some legal questions, but overall a pretty nice interview process. They had two people in the room asking questions and the whole interview took maybe 30 minutes. Relatively quick.

Question 1
Tell us about previous employment where you had to negotiate conflicting sets of rules.
Typically meet with upper level managers to discuss job requirements and expectations. Met with direct supervisor and another attorney to get a feel for the office environment. Somewhat casual process.
