I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Social Security Administration in Jun 2015
Interview
It was typical of what I would expect when interviewing for a federal position with direct contact with the public. The panel interview was done over the phone and I believe the reason for that is because they wanted to see how clear you spoke, how you sound over the phone when asked a question, etc.

Interview

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Jamaica, NY) in Mar 2019
Interview
The interview began with writing a series of answers to open ended questions (i.e what are your goals, why do you want to work for SSA, which skills do you think will be most important)
The questionnaire was then followed by a two person panel interview. Many of the questions were STAR based and based on your experience in providing customer service.
My overall experience was positive. I felt the interview was very straight forward.
