I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at United States Federal Government (Norfolk, VA) in Sept 2016
Interview
the interview was conducted as a panel interview after resume review. The interview was extremely quick 45 minutes and consisted of a bank of standardized questions. I remember the interview was focused on contract types awarded, experience utilizing the Federal Aquisition Regulations and Department of Defense requirements. Level of Certification and familiarization of the PPMAP process. How to handle difficult customers and incomplete aquisition requests.

Pretty general, you make the cut and get a phone interview, then make that cut and get a personal interview. Generic questions, mostly about past experiences. Very laid back, the interviewers all wore jeans (casual Friday).
