I applied online and process took about 2 weeks. I received a call from hiring manager and scheduled an interview. After interview, I never heard back. I also followed up but never got any response. Thus, I am assuming that I did not get the job.

I have had several interviews with DSHS. It's always a panel interview with 3-4 people in a very sad, very large building. The admin sets up the interview and picks you up from the lobby. You are given 10-15 minutes in a room to look over the questions, then they bring you in a second room to interview with 3 people. They take turns asking you questions and writing notes about your answers. Sometimes they ask follow up questions. In one interview, they kept asking me to elaborate without giving me any specifics about what they meant. I withdrew my application from that office, as it was very uncomfortable and stressful, plus no one smiled. There is often a skills test which involves writing, data analysis, or something else related to the job at hand.
