Two people interviewed me via phone. Explained the position and then asked me if I have any questions. Then proceed to ask me scripted questions and then paused to write what I said down.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever been critiqued and how did you respond
What legal writing and research have you done that makes a good candidate
Was there a time you ever was not given enough instruction by a supervisor—how did you respond and do
Panel interview over the phone. Scripted questions mostly about work environment, such as handling high production quotas and dealing with coworkers. No legal questions; very straight forward. Many generic questions like “what’s your greatest strength/weakness”, etc. Took about 30 minutes. Scheduling was very last minute, interviewer called several times and left voicemails saying what time she’ll try again the next day.

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Social Security Administration
Interview
When I interviewed, they were hiring many for the same class. All of the interviews were telephone interviews. I believe there were one or two group phone interviews.

Question 1
The questions are structured. Not much back and forth--ie its not conversational. There were lots of questions dealing with handling processes and quality vs quantity. The job can be demanding with strict deadlines. The questions are designed to help them determine how you would handle.
I applied online. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2019
Interview
There’s a very structured phone interview followed by written evaluation (the written exam part is a newer thing). Always more than one interviewer on the phone and they take turns asking questions.
