After filling out a long form, I received a phone call several months later asking about my location and availability. I then went to a census-fingerprinting center so that a background check could be performed. Once I was cleared and several weeks after getting the fingerprints, I received a follow-up call to check if I was still available. COVID-19 then distrupted the rest of the process.

I took a multiple choice test and was later contacted and offered a position. I attended an orientation where they reviewed what the job involved and where I took the oath to protect the constitution. This was in 2010.
