I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CAL Fire (Sacramento, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Made it to two interviews. The first was a 7-minute presentation, second was personality assessment. For the presentation, you can go over the time limit. However, you may not be under five minutes. It was comfortable, overall. Dress is business casual, and they work in pairs to interview you.

Question 1
Name a time when you went above and beyond the scope of your position to resolve an issue.
I applied online. I interviewed at CAL Fire (Sacramento, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
To start off, I have worked for other state departments during my undergrad and they were always very nice! However, I had an interview with the Sacramento legal department and I found them to be incredibly rude and stone faced during the interview. I took the interview abroad and I politely followed up after the interview. Obviously I took a job elsewhere because I didn’t hear back for four weeks. I wanted to take a state position with them, but I will never apply there again and encourage others not to waste their time. Very rude panel I had the interview with for the position.

Question 1
Very basic and unprepared questions. Had no interest in knowing me as a person before they fired off Q’s. So odd.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at CAL Fire (Felton, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Two females which one of was the hiring manager. Very dull place. People seemed bored out of there minds. Waiting to retire and collect that pension. My interview was simple questions about budgets. Overall I would say they ghost you and wont tell you that you weren't selected. Typical government bs. Save yourself the trip and ask for a virtual interview. These momos don't care that u show up or not. I regret showing up.
Position was in person 5 days and they wanted me to write checks on type writer. WTF
