All starts with a qualification questionnaire. Submitted the requisite checklist, cover letter, form 678, SOQ, transcripts. Caltrans prequalifies several applicants of the unspecified number of applicants. Notifications are sent out over two months after application sent in.

Short interview but long waiting process. Waited several months prior to an offer coming in. Did a virtual interview with two people, one who would become my boss and another supervisor in a related discipline.
