Behavioral Technical Presentation
It took a few weeks from application to interview. The interview was a typical panel interview style in virtual setting. Somewhat old fashioned. Multiple questions with many embedded questions. Though I did not get an offer, I felt pretty good.

Behavioral Technical
It was a structured interview with 3 behavioral questions. Pretty standard for government interviews. If you want to shine, make sure to ask questions. The interviewers have to stick to the script when asking questions, but you can have a more casual conversation if you ask them something.

Behavioral Technical
So at FDIC, they do these structured interviews, right? Usually, there are four questions, but each one has, like, little parts to it. It's super important to write them down so you don't miss anything and make sure you answer every single part. They really want you to use the STAR method (situation, action, outcome) and give a full, organized answer. They can't really answer your questions though, and because it's structured, it can feel a bit impersonal, but it's just to keep things fair and avoid trouble. I had one interview that was an hour long. They gave us the questions about an hour before in the waiting room. Two people were there for the interview, one took notes and the other asked the questions.
