Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for the NSA? What programming languages do you know? Behavioral interview questions. Define yourself in three words. How would your professors define you if they only used one word?
Pretty straightforward questions for computer science internship and nothing technical. Security clearance is long and not a fun time, but pay is decent and the security clearance is nice for future jobs
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at National Security Agency (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
Went through multiple phone interviews. The first was a prescreening phone interview, and the second was more extensive.
Flew in for an in-person interview and a language test.
Security clearance process is long and extensive, and difficult to pass if you are a hyphenated-American.
