I applied to the DOE back in September, and I had my interview about a month later. It was at the office I might be working at. The management team was there and they talked about the job with me. They asked me some questions about the role and my background. They wanted to know about dealing with parents in a crisis and if I could manage different kinds of issues. Then we chatted about what's expected in the job.

Behavioral
The interview process is pretty straightforward: you have to apply online first (they don't take referrals). Then, you wait. Because the DOE is so big, things move slowly. It's a limited process, usually one in-person interview. Since the Project Coordinator role I interviewed for doesn't exist anymore, you'd likely interview with the Director or someone they delegate.

It took forever to hear back, applied in July, interviewed in October, and got an offer in February. The interview day was long and a real waiting game, but I guess you wait if you really want it.
