Presentation Behavioral Other
I first interviewed on campus after finishing my PhD. Then, I was invited for a second interview at the SPAWAR center, which involved an oral presentation. After the presentation, I was taken on a tour and to lunch by a new employee. Surprisingly, they hadn't scheduled any more interviews for me! The director of the new professionals program eventually contacted the employee who gave me the tour, and we met with him. He tried to reach the intended interviewers on his cell phone for about 5 minutes, but no one answered. Honestly, I was not impressed with the facility, as it seemed to have poor management, even for a government facility. I never heard back from them and have since accepted a great position at a major research company.

Behavioral Technical
I got the interview at my college campus through a career fair and they set up an on-campus interview with me last minute. There was another employee present, but I think they were just observing and not actually interviewing me. They asked me typical HR questions, including some about my previous retail job, but I made sure to answer the behavioral ones carefully. They didn't ask any technical questions this time, unlike last year when I had an on-site interview for the same role and was asked a lot of technical questions. If they like me this time, I think I'll have another on-site interview where I'll have to take an engineering exam. It's a government job, so there will be a background check for security clearance.

Behavioral
The process began with a phone interview, which served as a basic screening for personality. Following that, arrangements were made for an in-person interview on site. This stage also focused on personality-based questions. The overall process was not difficult, and the interviewers were very friendly, making the environment comfortable.

Behavioral
I spoke with a recruiter who had my application paperwork. They asked me about my past work experience listed on my resume and the courses I took in college, which was on my transcript. It was a pretty relaxed chat about my education, my background, and what kind of work I might do here if I got the job.
