I applied online. I interviewed at NWS in Feb 2018
Interview
Apply on usajobs.gov. Government is slow when it comes to paperwork and such, so you'd probably expect an update on your application in 2-3 months. Straightforward interview. Lots of team-related questions. I was expecting more technical or meteorology related questions, but the focus these days is communication and work with emergency managers.

Question 1
Has there been a time when your integrity was challenged? How did you respond?
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at NWS
Interview
Was asked typical HR questions, lasted about 30 minutes, phone interview. Some questions are tricky, can involve conflict resolution or teamwork-based questions. Was notified of the interview 2 days beforehand, so you are on short notice if you get one. Takes about 2-4 weeks after resume is referred on USAjobs.
