I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Portland Housing Bureau (Portland, OR) in Jan 2017
Interview
I did a phone interview with the department director and would have done an in person interview several days later if successful. Was supposed to be provided the interview questions prior to the interview, but that didn't happen.
