First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at US Department of Treasury.
Intern
We started with intros, then asked a bunch of behavioral/situational questions. After that, we talked about what's next, and then I gave my thoughts and you followed up.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Describe a situation where you performed data analysis.
Intern
I applied through my school careers website and also on USAJobs. Although I first wanted to work in the Office of Economic Policy, my application was not accepted for that office, but they did redirect my application to all other offices. About a month later, a manager from a different office (who ended up being my direct supervisor) emailed me and set up a phone interview. By the end of that call, we scheduled a final interview for the next week, but then the offer for that final interview was taken back two days later, when she called to offer me the position.
- Can you tell me about your dedication to public service?
Intern
I was applying for a summer internship in the TFI division of the Treasury. A recruiter from campus career services set up the interview. She asked about my previous internships and how they prepared me for this role. She also inquired about my interest in the Department and if I had any regional expertise.
- Can you share any regional expertise you might have?
- Are there any skills you have that are relevant to this role?
