The process was slow with many questions, but worthwhile if you put in the effort. Applied via USAjobs, tailored my resume to the role, and had a virtual interview with references. Getting a notification took a long time. The people were great, though.

Behavioral Group Presentation

So, I went through 2 interviews. The first one was kinda formal, a panel interview with 4 people – the hiring lead, someone from military, someone civilian from outside the department, and a contractor. The second one was more casual, just the hiring manager asking about leadership stuff to see what kind of leader I am and if I'd fit in with the group.

Behavioral Presentation

I applied through USA Jobs and then got an email to set up a phone interview. It's a pretty formal process where they use a checklist to grade you, kind of like an Oral Board for a promotion in the federal system. Three people on the board will evaluate your answers and ask questions one by one. You get to ask your questions at the end.

Confirmed questions4 questions
