I met in person for the wood shop manager job. I had a 1:1 chat with the shop manager. It was pretty relaxed, but I was super nervous because it was my very first job interview.

Behavioral Technical

SAIC works with companies needing skilled resources that have specific certifications, so it's important to keep yours current. If your resume looks good for a role, the hiring manager will call you for an initial phone interview. The questions in this call are usually about the job title itself, not the specific tasks. If the phone interview goes well, you'll be invited for an onsite interview. From my experience, SAIC really looks for candidates who can talk well about the job title. I think this is a weakness of SAIC, but it could be good for people trying to get in. I strongly advise candidates to not only know the technical answers but also to understand the company and its customers. This would add a lot of value and give you a good starting point for negotiations.
