Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you were required to handle a hostile or angered employee?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Yonkers, NY) in May 2015
Interview
No interview, met with recruiters and I qualified for the job, pretty long and tedious process. Just need to make sure no legal history and you can pass the ASVAB.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at US Navy (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
No interview process for joining the military. You need to take the ASVAB and the better the overall score the more job options that are available. If you don't your ability in basic math, sci., technology, or mechanical knowledge there is free material to study or paid for study books that will help you get ready to get into the military with the score you need for a job field you prefer.
If the job is open then you have a good chance getting the job and any bonuses that may be offered.
