I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Denver, CO) in Mar 2017
Interview
Structured interview consisting of a mock census interview and a behavioral interview. Usually there is a skills test, but I had already taken that. One on one with interviewer who reads questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to convince someone to do something they did not want to do.
Long process but considering the number of applicants it should be expected It was a phone interview and was not difficult at all they seem to want to be certain the candidates like people and are able to onock on doors
The interview looks more at checking certain boxes as opposed to skill. It looks like this is a constantly vacant position. The position is part-time with no guaranteed hours. Cannot say that it's a difficult job or anything, but the application was tedious than the interview.

Question 1
It was more of a description of the job and whether I was still interested.
After an online application they called with a simple telephone interview. They want to know about your availability and preferred schedule. They ask for basic background information. The online application has all of the information that they really need to place you so it is mostly a verification of the information you have already provided.
