Behavioral Technical Presentation
So after applying on USAJobs, they had me do a short essay questionnaire to flesh out my resume, then a phone interview. After that, I had an in-person interview. The in-person interview involved meeting pretty much everyone on the team I'd be joining – it was basically two rounds, each with about 4-7 people, and then I met the division leader. The whole in-person thing lasted about 4 hours. It was pretty chill and friendly, and the questions were pretty standard.

The application process took a while and I had to write essays beforehand, which took some time to get ready. When I finally interviewed, they asked really specific questions about the job, like about my skills and experiences and how they fit the role. It felt like they really wanted me to show I knew what I was talking about and was prepared for the job.
