I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at FAA (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Long lengthy process that begins on USAjobs.gov...then you have to wait for HR to call you from the district you are selected in....a pool of managers get to decide who they want and who they do not want. From this the manager that likes you the best will send you an offer letter from HR and the whole process will begin.
Had an interview through a zoom call it was pretty standard and to the point. The interview lasted roughly 30 minutes and I was asked a series of general questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at FAA in Dec 2022
Interview
Applied for a direct hire position through faa.gov website. Had just a phone interview then got a tenative offer within the week. The hiring process thus far has been slow. I completed my necessary documents within 48 hours of receiving them every time, but still am having to wait weeks. This is going on for 3 weeks and I am still jumping through hoops to receive an official offer and start date.
