Behavioral Technical
Had a phone call to set up the interview. Then a video interview with 3 people. They asked 18 questions, mostly about behavior, but they really wanted to know about my experience with regulations and big projects. It was a bad experience overall, and HR never responded.

The hiring manager called me directly to set up an interview. It was a panel interview with 5 people, and they read standard behavioral questions from a script while typing my answers. The next interview was a more casual chat with the director and hiring manager about my past experience.

Behavioral Other
I went to a job fair and had a 2 person panel interview that lasted about 20 minutes. They discussed my resume and the job duties, including overtime, which was appealing due to the earning potential. I got a call back with a job offer a few hours later and accepted, and they informed me about the academy start date. It was a pretty easy interview, considering I only had two years of experience as a Transportation Security Officer.
