First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at New York City Government Agency.
Managing Director
The interviews are pretty standard, but the questions could be improved to better identify candidates who can deliver what's needed. The hiring process takes a really long time, which is the biggest downside.
- Could you share your understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Administrative Judge
I applied on the website, got an email saying they got it, and then a phone call a few weeks later to set up the interview. The interview was with 3 administrative law judges, and they asked me questions like what I'd do if someone was disrespectful and if I could follow the law in tough cases. If I had made it to the next round, I was told there would be a writing competition. I would suggest that you know exactly what types of cases OATH hears and be sure that you want to be a judge before you go into the interview.
- Why are you pursuing a role as an administrative law judge, and do you anticipate any challenges transitioning from being a lawyer?
- What would you do if a litigant or attorney was disrespectful in your courtroom?
- Would you be able to follow the law even in emotionally compelling cases?
Intern
The interview was a bunch of preprepared questions that they asked to everyone. Mostly questions about times when you did a certain thing or had a certain job-relevant experience. Didn't think I did very well. I haven't heard back in over a month
- Tell me about a time at a previous job where you had to manage multiple tasks on your own.
Public Engagement Representative
The interview was pretty chill and not too stressful. It was a small panel with the team leader and her manager. They asked me about my background in public service, why I wanted this job, and what I see myself doing in the future.
- Can you share an instance where you experienced conflict with a colleague?
