I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at California State Assembly (Sacramento, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I showed up to the assembly member's office to speak with their newly hired legislative director. We walked into the office that he works in and we sat at his desk, while he asked me various questions. Everything seemed like it went very well. He kept it very positive and it was a constant back and forth with some laughs and smiles in between. However, I did not get the offer. Instead, an email with a PDF file saying that they chose to move forward with someone else was sent to me.
