Behavioral Other
I had an interview for a Program Analyst position at a senior level. It was with a single person, an admin assistant. I felt like they didn't look at my resume or my answers to the vacancy questions. It was a really weird interview because they asked me about art, but the job description didn't mention anything about art.

Behavioral Group
I had two in-person interviews, where a group of people interviewed me. No phone screens were involved. The interviewers were the department's top leadership and they were really nice and professional. It took about 2-3 months from applying to getting an interview. Then, about another month passed from my second interview to getting the job offer. As usual with federal jobs, I had to do a fingerprint and security check before they could give me the job.

Behavioral Presentation
Had a phone screen initially to see if I could do the duties and work the hours. In person interview had to be postponed do to logistical reasons. Was interviewed by someone in top leadership in the department and they were very nice, very professional. He was impressed with my skills and interview as well said I gave a great first impression. Told me if I was to be brought in I should hear back in within three weeks and its now going on 2 months.
