Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 4+ weeks)

I interviewed for the Financial Management Specialist Program when GSA came to my campus. They held an info session the night before interviews and I thought it was really laid back and the people were really friendly. Because of the info session, I wasn't expecting the interview to be very formal, however, the interview was approx. 45 mins with 3 different people in the room asking questions. They were all behavioral questions, however, I felt like they were being rapid fired at me. Overall, I would say that they asked more questions than most of my other on campus interviews and was more intense than I was expecting. If you interview, make sure you have lots of stories that you can talk about in a precise manner. After the interview, they send a yes/no test of about 50 questions that is more skill specific. Overall, I heard back from them within a month.

All behavioral questions. I walked in and there were 4 people sitting there. They asked me questions about how I resolved a conflict in a workplace. What was my greatest regret since I started college. Have I used Excel to manage my bank accounts? <- Not sure what this question was about. And all of the typical tell me about a time when you.......questions. There was no questions about Finance at all. It was all behavioral.
