I applied through university. I interviewed at U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Silver Spring, MD)
Interview
I received the opportunity through my school's career center. After completing simple background checks, I talked with the manager via zoom. After ~ 30 min presentation about my previous work, I was asked few questions on spot. Few days later, I received an offer which I accepted. Then I had to finish rather longer government background checks.
