I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arizona Budget Joint Legislative Budget Committee (Phoenix, AZ) in June 2012
Interview
After a brief initial phone screen, the first step was an analysis case study consisting of looking over some data, doing some quick calculations, and writing up a couple paragraph summary of anything interesting. On site, there were informal one-on-one interviews with other analysts and a panel interview with the director and assistant directors.
