The interview process was quick and smooth. I was interviewed by a hiring manager who was friendly and quite patient, especially since I was a recent graduate when I applied. The interview itself took place over Zoom.

There were two interviews. The first one was with the NCS lead and a senior engineer from the agency, who asked mostly technical and operational questions related to the agency. The second interview was at NCS HQ with a hiring manager, covering a broader range of network topics not specific to the agency. Of course, interviews can differ based on who you meet.

I was interviewed on a Saturday, and then the following Monday, I was informed about the next steps, which involved processing my employee pass. The first part of the process was a skills test, followed by a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager. When I attended the interview, there were many other candidates being interviewed as well. The interviewer asked about my technical skills and my years of experience relevant to the position I applied for.
