I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SEC (Washington, DC) in Feb 2014
Interview
Sent in application through website in December and was contacted for an interview in February. Only one interview round and was relatively basic. Overall a good experience as the representatives were very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked classic interview questions such as Why SEC? Why Division of Economic and Risk Analysis? What are some things happening around the world right now? What is the FED doing?
