I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fannie Mae in Nov 2015
Interview
I received the phone interview without any notice. The group director asked me mainly about my research and things on my resume. He may want to find out whether my research background fits into his group. So he asked questions like what is my research, what are the results, why should people care, what the research could add into people's knowledge about the housing market, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you use quantile regression in the paper? What is the advantage of using this method?
first wire interview then onsite; onsite usually takes one day with panel and individual interviews.
in panel interview, it's like giving one seminar in college/university, they interrupt to ask and you have to be smart enough to respond. for individual interviews, they are interested in everything listed in your resume.
