I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at U.S. Department of State (Rosslyn, VA) in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview was very relaxed and informal. I met with the director, an architect and Sr. interior designer. The whole process lasted about a half hour and was very conversational.
