Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Being asked to expand on the definition of being "a team player". I've found the hiring person is looking for specific characteristics and not the canned response of "being able to work well with others, being flexible and adaptable". Person is looking for specific examples describing a situation, what you did in response, and what the outcome of the situation was.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC)
Interview
I had two interviews. They were pretty standard. Both interviews we're panels interviews with 3 people each. I was contacted about a week after the announcement closed. Between my first and second interview was about six weeks so the process isn't that fast. And then another four or five weeks before I received the job offer.
