      IT Specialist Interview

      Jul 21, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (New York, NY) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      I applied to an internal job posting since I was already working there. Due to the nature of the decennial census operation, once you get your foot in the door there are many opportunities that present themselves. I had a single interview with 3 people. I met the technical requirements for the job and had the people skills they were looking for.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What is you technical background?

      IT Specialist Interview

      Sep 26, 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at US Census Bureau in Sep 2024

      Interview

      Usually one interview. Maybe 2. No code tests. I've never seen a code test in the government or nonprofit sector. They asked general questions. It's as simple as that. Now I'm adding filler to meet the 30 word minimum.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Do you have experience working with Linux, SAS, Python, etc. By 2027 SAS may not be in the picture at all anymore, and they may start asking questions about AWS.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Talk about a project you worked on and what was your role. Or they might ask about challenges with it or something you learned, successes, etc.
