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.

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.

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

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?
