Behavioral Technical

Communication was great and they were flexible with scheduling. The panel members introduced themselves and their roles. The call was a dial-in, so there was no waiting time. The questions were related to the job, although the job itself was a bit different than what was listed on the application. The questions required some thought and recalling regulations and past experiences.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you outline the steps involved in the RMF?
  • Could you share an instance where you applied the RMF and specify which step was relevant?

I got an email from someone there and they invited me for an on-site interview. Once I said yes, they gave me the location, date, and time. When I got there, they led me to a room from the lobby. They didn't ask me any technical questions. They focused more on my experience working on projects with others. They also asked about what I used for those projects. I was also asked how I handled certain issues that came up when working with a team or a team member. After that, I asked them some questions and then they walked me out. I haven't heard back yet, which was a few weeks ago. I guess it takes a while.

I sent in my application through USAJobs around mid-October. By the first week of December, I was informed my application was passed along to the hiring manager. About a week after that, I got an email to schedule a phone interview. After the phone interview, they mentioned a decision would likely be made in about two weeks.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Considering the role involves interacting with various businesses through different methods like group meetings, one-on-one discussions, phone calls, or computer-based communication, which communication style do you find most comfortable, and could you provide specific examples of your experience with it?
