Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I emailed my resume along with a cover letter in August 2011. On November 22 I was contacted for an interview and set one up for November 30, 2012. Had the interview; was asked about my experience in the healthcare field, in the legal field and my degree in criminal justice. Interviewed with the chief and the supervisor. It has been more than 6 months and they have failed to get back to me with a substantive response on my interview.

Bring copies of your most recent salary history to support negotiations. With government there is very little leeway for negotiation, but do not let that stop you.

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
The recruiter was very friendly and seemed professional. I gave him my e-mail and he sent me a response a couple of days later with the application and other documents. After all the documents have been received, I received a call from a manager within the company who asked me a couple of questions casually and told me what kind of field he worked in.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 days)
This was for an unpaid internship. Very straightforward; asked about my activities in college, why I would be a good fit for the position, and a couple of basic current event questions. The second interview was a bit more in-depth with my top preference (Legislative Affairs). Again, it consisted of basic questions that made sure I was competent to handle daily office tasks.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Walpole, MA (took 3 days)
Met with a panel consisting of three interviewers. Each seemed very professional but affable. I was asked to give my completed paperwork, consisting of background and CORI consent and references. After a 20 minute overview of the position I was asked some questions about my background and my interests. Each panel member then took turns asking me job related questions and wanted to know how I would handle different scenario's. I thought the interview went very well, however, I should have learned a little more about the company before going into the interview. The panel members were very nice and seemed to like me but did tell me that it would be a prolong period before I would get information either way or whether I would be offered a position.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Boston, MA (took a day)
After submitting application online, I received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview. The interview was with one person and lasted about 20 minutes. I was asked about my experience in problem solving and if I thought I could handle sensitive topics. Much of the conversation was casual; I did ask specific questions about the job.

that they possess 4n+2 ? electrons (n=4 for the shortest cyclic path) that are delocalized over the macrocycle. The macrocycles, therefore, are highly-conjugated systems and, as a consequence, have very intense absorption in the visible region and therefore are deeply colored; the name porphyrin comes from a Greek word for purple.

I received a phone call from the hiring Representative soon after I sent out my resume and cover letter. I was called on for two interviews, both with the representative and his staff director. Both were relatively relaxed and low-key.
