I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at U.S. Department of State in Dec 2014
Interview
The whole interview process was simple and done over e-mail. I was contacted by a staffer in the office and completed an over the computer interview. The most complicated part of the process was getting the background check and security clearance, which was difficult because of how long it took.
