I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA) in June 2012
Interview
Hiring process takes a long time. They are a state organization but the HR department seems slower than most state organizations. The actual interview is average. They ask a series of questions to determine your basic skills both social and technical. Knowing someone to give you a recommendation will almost guarantee you an interview with most departments.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I did not have any unexpected questions. It is a relatively straightforward processes. If you have a high level of confidence you should be fine.
