I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at U.S. General Services Administration (Louisville, KY) in Jan 2010
Interview
The process takes FOREVER!!! After 3 months I got approved for 1st round interviews, then another 2 months for Second Round interviews, then finally a month until notification of who got the position. Then after all that the President put everything on a hiring freeze and so now we have to start all over again!
