I applied online. I interviewed at CDSS in Feb 2026
Interview
After an hour long written exam, there is a panel interview with 3 people. I am left handed, so I found having to use a laptop with a right hand touch pad difficult in lieu of a mouse. Before the panel begins their questions, they share that if selected that the compensation offered will be 5% less than advertised.
There's three panelist and they ask the series of questions alternately. The questions are placed in a binder in front of you so you can read along. It's very professional based and I guess depending on your comfort level, having three people question and observe you can be either nerve wracking or comfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a situation when you disagreed with your manager about an assigned task
Not too bad, they call you in with 2-3 person panel, and they ask you the exact questions from the sheet they provide you. Makes the process less stressful as you are more prepared
