First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at U.S. General Services Administration.
Management Analyst
The hiring manager seemed stressed and like my interview was an imposition. Her supervisor was interested in my computer skills and my ability to handle stress, asking if I could multitask and manage under pressure. They both implied they had little control over changes from above, impacting efficiency. It made me question the job's stress level and if it was a good environment. They also couldn't clearly explain the job duties, making it hard to see how my skills fit. It's advisable to clarify the job role with HR or someone in the position before interviewing, as supervisors may not describe it well.
- How do you handle stress, personally?
Analyst
I was brought in for what I thought was an informational interview, so I prepped to check out the vibe and the people. When I got there, they took me to a private room and hit me with a bunch of behavioral questions. After that, they threw a real-life problem at me (it was three pages long). They left for about 10 minutes and told me to come up with a solution. When they came back, I presented my plan and fielded their follow-up questions. It was a good interview overall, but definitely a real job interview, not just a casual chat!
- Can you describe your strategy for working with political appointees?
Program Analyst
The recruiters came to my university's library for interviews. Three people were in the room: one asked questions, and two recorded the answers. After this initial interview, I was sent a link to an assessment about two months later. The assessment results took almost a month to come back. There was no follow-up after I was assured I'd hear something post-assessment results.
- Tell me about a situation where you faced and overcame a challenge.
