Aerospace Corporation Project Engineer Interview

Interviewed May 2011 in El Segundo, CA (took 3 months)

Already working at Aerospace; so this was an internal hire to another position. Job posting applied to electronically. Did a lot of pre-interview work on own. The actual interview was about 1 month after submitting application. It was a 1 on 1 interview with hiring manager. Hire on about 2 months later.
The interview process was standard. To be successful, did the following:

- Did pre interview informational interviews with hiring manager, employees who supported this program, worked with the hiring manager before
- Talked to my references to ensure strong reference and their knowledge of program and hiring manager
- Practiced with other interviews that I knew I was not going to get or had smaller chance of getting and doing the above with other job interviews.
