Computer Specialist at FAA
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oklahoma City, OK (US) May 2009 – Reviewed May 21, 2010
Interview Details After the online application process and confirmation that I was able to satisfactorily pass the background investigation I was offered a position. No formal interview was conducted
Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate a slightly higher salary but that was all. Always ask for enhanced leave accrual and for any past contracting experience to be honored toward vacation accrual. Overall, the process was very straight forward and easy going.

Electronics Technician at FAA
No Offer – Interviewed in Indianapolis, IN (US) Nov 2009 – Reviewed Dec 18, 2009
Interview Details I failed the interview by not fully understanding a two part question. In all honesty, I was overqualified for the position, or at least it would not have been a good match for my work ethic.

Computer Specialist at FAA
No Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC (US) Jul 2009 – Reviewed Sep 10, 2009
Interview Details
Applied for various Computer Specialist and Scientist jobs via ASAP system. Called in for in-person interview; no phone screening. The first date was inconvenient for me; they rescheduled with no complaint. When they asked me for a further delay, I agreed. The interview started promptly and went smoothly. There was a panel of three interviewers from 3 functional areas. Each had a set of questions. Some were about my experiences, some were sort of hypothetical design questions, some were about credentials (e.g in project management). I felt that my resume and KSA responses had distinguished me from the competition, and that I was being judged on more personal issues (how to fit in, etc.). Several questions were about how to handle difficult workplace scenarios.
The interviewers were polite and helpful. AT the end, when they asked "Do you have any questions?" they seemed genuinely interested in responding. I was favorably impressed with the professional attitudes displayed.
Interview Question – How would you handle risk reduction in a project? View Answer

Management and Program Analyst at FAA
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC (US) May 2009 – Reviewed Jul 09, 2009
Interview Details Not too stressful. Very low key. Interviewing was more about what the job entails than trying to eliminate me as a candidate. FAA is very political so its more about who you know, than what you know. My masters degree was rendered useless..HA. Oh well.
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Answer Question

Pros: Great pay and benefits. Great job security, after a rigorous training (3 years) purposefully eliminating those that cannot do the work, thus jeopardize countless lives on airplanes. Great people. – Full Review `
