I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Naval Sea Systems Command in Nov 2009
Interview
I signed up for the interview on my college's website. The recruiter for this job said that they usually only recruit people from Hawai'i, but go out of state if they have jobs to fill.
The interview as a whole was pretty straightforward. He cared more about my ability as a thinker than anything on my resume. My interviewer was very nice and I felt very comfortable with him.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Naval Sea Systems Command (Portsmouth, NH)
Interview
super casual, interviewers were super nice, one of them seemed like he hated his job but the other two should be salesmen. I did a good amount of prep work, but they asked super basic questions, very laid back process for me at least.

Question 1
What I do outside of school, hobbies, etc. (I'm currently a student)
May vary depending on group. Only had 1 behavior interview. Received an offer about 1 month after the interview. The recruiter interviewed me, however the direct hiring manager may also be the one interviewing.

Interview
Went through a list of questions, did not feel very conversational and they didn’t open up to me a lot, which left me with a feeling of “meh”. Seems like the work is mostly just maintenance and technical writing, not much actual engineering. They said expect to hear back within a month or so if you move on in the process.

Question 1
My advice would be to remember that safety and following rules in number one important. There was one sorta technical question that was really designed to see how you think and solve problems, just go with it.
