      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at U.S. Senate (Washington, DC) in Dec 2021

      Interview

      It was lengthy. They did a full audit of social media, scrub your accounts! And had 3 interviews spanning over a months time. It isn’t for the faint of heart! But learn all there is to know about the member you are interviewing for.
