I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rhode Island Department of Health (Providence, RI)
Interview
I interviewed virtually. They couldn't get the camera to work but as long as they could see me they were okay. It was your typical forensic scientist interview with questions about technical aspects and typical day to day tasks about the job.
