I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (Norfolk, VA) in Oct 2009
Interview
The Navy has had shortages in the acquisition career fields so since I already has experience in this area it was a matter of gettin gmy resume in front of the right people. It took me about a year of repeatedly applying and finally my resume was chosen by a person who was already a contracts specialist and found my resume through one of her friends. She referred me and then about a month later I received an interview.
