I applied for the position online, and then didn't hear back from them until about 2 months later. They asked me to come in for an in-person interview. I live near L.A. and they were 200 miles away in San Diego, but I agreed to the interview anyway. I was greeted at the door by my two interviewers: a software developer who was doing the responsibilities of both her own job and the clerical work of the Configuration Analyst position, as well as the branch's Mission Assurance manager (whom I would be reporting to if hired). Apparently they were looking for someone to take over the developer's clerical duties so she could get back to focusing on her own job. The interview was held in a conference room. They spent a good 15-20 minutes telling me about the position and the responsibilities it would entail--basically running around the different departments and keeping track of who's signed off on what. They asked me if this was something I'd be interested in doing, and I said something along the lines of "Absolutely." They then went over my resume and asked me about some of my programming experience (I'm a computer science major). They said that there was a good chance that the Configuration Analyst position could lead into a software position for me at the company, at which point I said that I was very interested in the position now. The interviewers then asked me some small talk questions like "How was your drive down here?" and "What do you do for fun?" In the end, they said to expect a phone call within 2 weeks if I got the job. All in all, I felt very good about how the interview went. After 2 weeks, I called their hiring manager and left a message asking about my status as a job candidate. I got an email the next day that basically said "We don't need you" in nicer terms.
