Very detailed, drug, background check, credit check, employment check, security clearance types of questions, jobrelated questions are asked but very superficially . Tax records your family and complete background is subject to investigation

Coordinated in advance via admin. No update on job site noting referral or interview. 30 minute phone interview. Interview consisted of 5 minute intro, 20 minutes of technical questions and 5 minute exit. Panel interview via phone and staff were congenial. The technical questions related to UNIX, networking and Windows. The questions were not difficult and could be answered via a search and so stated as such but the questions continued. Unclear if I should have searched for the answer or stated unknown. One strength / weakness question. Job announcement was not in line with the interview. Disconnect between the hiring entity and HR. No hope of an offer but based on clearance requirements 3-9 months between interview and job.

I really don't recall much of anything about an interview so long ago. The hiring process started out electronically through USAJOBS and I eventually got an in person interview. I dressed by best and presented myself the best I good. Nothing out of the usual.
