Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at US Army.
Intern
I interviewed at the university recruiting site. They asked me some basic questions like introducing myself, my life goals, and why I'm interested in the role. I got the offer about two weeks later.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- Could you tell me about your extracurricular activities?
Cadet
First, you'll meet with the ROTC unit's HR assistant to chat about your aspirations and why you want to join ROTC. No need to dress up, but keep it conservative. For the scholarship part, make sure to get your grades, transcripts, and any test scores to the US Army Cadet Command and fill out the application online. The essays are a big deal, so really put time and effort into them!
- What makes you want to join ROTC and the Army specifically?
- What are your goals for becoming an Army Officer?
- Tell me about a time you failed and what you learned from it.
Cadet
To get into the cadet program, I had to pass some physical and mental tests. This included a bunch of physical exams, an APFT, and sending in my transcripts. My recruiter was super helpful in letting me know what I needed and how to get it done.
- Could you tell me about your greatest strengths?
- What motivates your desire to become an officer?
- What are your long-term career aspirations over the next decade?
