I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FEMA in Jul 2014
Interview
Hiring process was lengthy. The main recruiter was located in DC not locally. First went through phone screening, the face to face interview. Very extensive background check. The background check process took some time. Overall, the process is not too bad.
Virtual panel of 3 FEMA employees. Round robin questions - 7 total. Follow up to your answers not allowed. Time for your own questions at the end. Only one round
