US Department of Health and Human Services Interview Questions

Submitted resume and cover letter and was offered screening interview with two attorneys via Zoom type platform. The interview lasted approx. 20 mins and was general in nature. I followed up with thank you emails after the interview and did not receive responses.

The interview process consisted of a screening interview that was 30 minutes followed by a second panel interview with four individuals. The interviewers were kind and thoughtful. I found the questions to be straightforward and mostly focused on my relevant experience and what qualities or skills make me a good candidate.

I had heard that the federal hiring process could be long, but this is ridiculous. I interviewed for more than one position. One of the interviews that seemed to go extraordinarily well ended with zero communication about a hiring decision (6 months later and still nothing). Another position I hired for did move forward, but it's taken forever to finalize. If this is how this agency does business, I recommend job candidates look elsewhere, unless they have all the time in the world to waste on this messy and thoroughly disorganized process. The hiring process has taken 8 months (so far!) with no end in sight.

Pre-assessment, then two more assessments and an interview done virtually with a separate individual, a hiring specialist . She asked 10 questions about how would I or did I handle them.

The process was completed online and was not difficult, they asked a set of questions you were given ahead of time after completing a short writing assignment to verify your ability to professionally conduct yourself.

Two rounds of panel interviews with STAR format questions. It was virtual due to the pandemic. Each interview was 45 minutes, although in both cases it went a little over due to my questions at the end.

A lot of hurry up and wait. Big group interview calls, or video where I was the only one to turn my camera on. Did 3 rounds of interviews in 2 weeks and then didn’t hear from them for another 6 weeks

Phone Interview. Asked the typical questions. Very to the point and no nonsense. Called on time as previously specified. Got an offer the next week. This thing needs to have at least 30 words.

Met with interview board and was informed how the interview would be conducted. There was a series of 6 rounds of questions. There were three board members who each asked a question. Very average interview with basic questions.

The process was very thorough, accessible, and inclusive. They made it easy for me to get scheduled and the process was very transparent. The 30 word minimum on this template makes it difficult for someone to really utilize this website.
