The interview is decent. A panel of individuals will ask general questions ( scenario /behavior based), then move on to technical questions ( tax related). Read the duty statement and review publications pertaining to the tax program your position will deal with ( can be found on the BOE website ) before the interview. After the Panel throws a bunch of questions at you , the next second portion of the interview will be written ( to assess your writing ability). overall Good interview- Not to hard or to easy!

After completing the initial application process I was called in to take an exam which consisted of accounting, computer software, and regulation review questions. A week later I was called into an interview and was asked several questions both about myself and my work experiences. None about auditing. Still waiting to see if I will receive an offer.

Submit application through jobs.ca.gov. Waited about a month before any contact. Phone interview first, then in person with 3 people. This is average when you compare to others entry level interview.
