U.S. Department of State interview questions

I received a phone call sort of out of the blue (I had to rush out of class to answer). I spoke with an intern and a senior level Foreign Service Officer about my experience and why I wanted to work there. Scheduled a call for the next week for a second round (I believe, I may have done this all in one call). Got an informal offer at the end of the last call for the position. Received an official offer for the position in December, then began the security process in January. Did not receive my clearance until late-May.

Submit application via USA Jobs, asked for a phone interview and told of the decision within 24 hours. I had multiple interviews with multiple offices often with conflicting deadlines to respond to accepting/declining offer.
