I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at U.S. Department of State (Auburn, AL) in Apr 2013
Interview
The hiring process involved tons of paperwork for a VERY THOROUGH background check. I met with a contracted investigator who was a former Secret Service agent. We went over everything in my past employment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be willing to sacrifice your friend, (insert foreign friend's name here) in order to keep national security secrets safe?
