I applied through other source. I interviewed at Social Security Administration in Sep 2020
Interview
The interview was a phone call with two managers that lasted about an hour and a half. The questions asked were mostly situational (STAR method) questions, such as describe a time when I had a deadline to complete a project. One interesting question was to teach the interviewers something that you know well, in which they give you 5 minutes to prepare your answer.
Overall, the interviewers were very friendly and told me to take my time answering their questions. Since they were looking to hire immediately, this was the only interview and they requested my references at the end.
