First round with Branch Chief, second round with ARC, all behavioral questions. My Branch Chief was super easy to talk to, so it was more like a chat than an interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're on your way to meet with a company, but car breaks down, what do you do?
One Interview: Asked me questions related to the job description so just be aware of the duties of a Field Economist and what each survey focuses on. There were two interviewers and they performed a good cop bad cop routine.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Interview
I originally applied for the position over 6 months ago and finally got a phone call. The interview was professional yet they made me feel at ease. I interviewed with a panel, by myself and 3 weeks later was asked for references. The interview was basic questions detailing the job and my previous educational and professional experiences.

Question 1
Tell me what you're passionate about in Economics in French (since on my resume, I noted I am conversational in French). Not a hard question, but extremely unexpected. I was expecting questions like why do you think you are best for this job above others; instead I was asked to speak French.
