I applied online. I interviewed at FAA in Dec 2022
Interview
Applied for a direct hire position through faa.gov website. Had just a phone interview then got a tenative offer within the week. The hiring process thus far has been slow. I completed my necessary documents within 48 hours of receiving them every time, but still am having to wait weeks. This is going on for 3 weeks and I am still jumping through hoops to receive an official offer and start date.
