I met a recruiter at a college event and heard back a few weeks later. We had a zoom interview that included a greeting and a review of my resume. There weren't any specific technical questions. I didn't make it past the first screening because I wasn't well-prepared. It was a friendly chat, but I wasn't the right fit for the role at that time.

Behavioral Presentation

I applied and was invited for a full-day recruitment event at a NAVSEA site. About 20-30 people from different fields were there. We got some info about the hiring, the agency's mission, and how it's structured. Then there was a networking session with people from different departments that had openings. Based on my resume and the networking, I got to have some one-on-one interviews. I really liked how it was set up.

Got a call from HR to schedule an on-site interview. Did a quick tour, then had a relaxed chat with two branch heads about my strengths and the job duties.
