I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Marine Corps Community Services (Camp Pendleton, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Two interviews. First was a panel of 5 Marines. I had to submit a timed typing sample and then do a 5 minute PowerPoint presentation that was provided to me 5 minutes before the presentation to the panel. The interview was a "performance based" interview, however the questions did not get too in depth. The second interview was only with the Commanding Officer, and it was a much more relaxed environment. More of a conversation. They were very quick in scheduling both interviews (they called me that same day to say I'd advanced to the next round). After the second interview the Commanding Officer called me a couple hours later to say they had selected me.

Question 1
Honestly, the questions weren't difficult. They just wanted to know what my experience was to assess how I could serve the families and adapt to the military environment. The most difficult thing was the shock of having to memorize and then present a presentation within 5 minutes in front of an intimidating panel (of what ended up being 5 very kind and friendly Marines). I was very prepared. That is my only advice: prepare for a "performance based interview" and you'll be great.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Marine Corps Community Services (Iwakuni) in Mar 2014
Interview
Applying for the position was easy. There was an interview board of 5 people. Most were from the command I was applying to work for and then there was an HR person in the room as well. They each asked me a few different questions and wrote down notes as we went along.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marine Corps Community Services (Camp Pendleton, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Interviewed with many people. The process was simple. Had to do one public speaking test to see if I was well spoken. Was asked many questions regarding whether or not I was familiar with MCCS. There were at least 5 interviews that day for the same position.
