I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Navy (Kannapolis, NC) in Feb 2015
Interview
Disorganized. There was not a set schedule to follow. It was more along the lines of go here.. never mind. Come this way.. once your done be here.. actually we want you over there. A bit frustrating at times.

Interview
Invited to DC to interview. Had technical interviews with three SESs and a final interview with the Director. The technical interviews were 45 minutes and largely focused on calculus and physics problems, but there was also a good amount of time spent in discussion. There is a fit process going on throughout the whole interview.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you showed leadership? Some of my answer sounded like management to him, so I had to refine mid-course to focus on the leadership side.

Interview
Meet a recruiter on a college campus, had a quick 1 on 1 interview. After I sent them my transcripts, we set up an onsite interview. Gov't paid for everything. Onsite interview was 4 other candidates and we mostly just walking around the shipyard, talking to random people. Had a 1 on 1 with the 'boss-to-be' and a group interview with people who would be my coworkers.
All candidates had to then reapply online and go through usajobs.gov . After about 3 months, I got a phone call asking if I was still interested.
