Health Technician at US Indian Health Service

Declined Offer – Reviewed May 8, 2013

Interview Details – This is a government job that must be applied to via the federal careers portal. The application process is very extensive and essentially is the interview. There are no traditional phone or face to face interviews. The hiring/interview process consists solely of a (extremely slow) review of your entire file by the regional IHS HR office and the local IHS service unit supervisors. If an applicant is accepted for the position following these reviews, a written offer will be extended (conditional on background and drug tests). According to the recruiters, I was told that Native American/Alaskan Native applicants who meet the minimum job qualifications are automatically selected and given the job offer, leading to a much quicker hiring timeline.

Interview Question – Traditional behavioral and position-relevant questions are asked online, with multiple choice answer selections.   Answer Question
