U.S. Department of State interview questions

Emailed by a representative a month after applying, scheduled a brief, 20 minute phone call to discuss the position and to talk about my qualifications. Easy set-up, traditional interview questions asked.

I had interviews with individuals at two different bureaus. They were very different experiences -- one was very friendly and the interview lasted a full 45 minutes, while the other was quite short and brusk, largely looking for concise answers. I heard back within 24 hours for one position, but not until 2 weeks later for the other. Seems to vary quite a bit by Bureau.
