The interview was quick and to the point, the interviewers were polite and seemed interested in our conversation. I did feel a bit rushed through the interview process, though, at times.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at California State Senate (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2025
Interview
2 separate interviews -- First with a staffer mainly behavioral questions. Second interview was with the Chief of Staff-- asking situational questions as well as more behavioral questions, primarily about motivations and challeneges.

Question 1
What is your understanding of the legislative process, and why do you want to work for this particular senator.
I interviewed at the capitol. Very informal. Asked minimal questions. The interviewer didn't even show up, so the lady at the front desk interviewed me instead. Overall, an okay experience.
