So I applied by sending in my CV, answering some questions, and getting two letters of recommendation. After that, I had a quick 20-minute chat with two of the directors, and they asked me some behavioral questions.

The interview process was really thorough and they were happy to answer any questions I had about the job. It was a great experience overall and felt very open and honest. I'd suggest ORISE to anyone just out of grad school who wants to get some experience.

Technical Presentation
The ORISE Fellowship is a scholarship for those wanting to work as research fellows in national labs like USDA, FDA, NIH, and CDC. The interview process is pretty straightforward: you apply for a job, and if you're shortlisted, they'll give you a call for a phone interview. Sometimes, you might need to present your research on-site. Once the agency picks you, the paperwork for the offer letter and joining date can take anywhere from 1 to 2 months.
