Hour and a half interview with standard behavioral and experience interview questions. Mostly were curious about experience managing projects or programs and conducting research. Was done with two upper-level staff analysts at GAO, who alternated in asking questions. They were friendly, but all GAO applicants are asked a standard list of questions.

I first applied to the U.S. Government Accountability Office via the USA Jobs website in November 2015. After about 90 days, I was notified via email of my selection for an interview that would take place the first week of February. The actual interview consisted of a 90-minute phone call with a panel of interviewers calling in from across the country. A current employee welcomed me to the call and answered any question I had about the agency or position. After about another 4 weeks, an offer was made via email.
