I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Caltrans (Marysville, CA)
Interview
Applied online through Calcareers.ca.gov.
The time to get a response was about 3 months.
I applied to several locations for the same job, i.e. Transportation Engineer (Civil).
An email was sent to me saying that Caltrans would be hosting a Mass Hiring Event in Marysville, CA.
I attended the event and was interviewed by 4 people, who asked general/basic questions as the job was entry level.
I received a conditional offer the following week and started working a month after that.
The Caltrans interview process was straightforward and comfortable. I interviewed with a two-person panel, and most questions followed the STAR format, making it easy to organize clear, relevant examples. About 30 mins long.
Remote online video interview with four people. Showed questions ahead of time and gave me a few minutes to look them over in silence before proceeding. Very structured and as expected.

Question 1
They asked all technical questions and wanted concrete examples.
It’s a structured interview process. You walk in, there’s a binder on the desk and you simply answer what’s in the binder. I was asked four questions and allotted 30 minutes to answer.
