I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2023
Interview
Applied on USAJobs and got an interview about two months later. Interview has the standard “tell me about a time…” questions. I think I did well, though I admit I did flounder a bit at the end. I was told I’d hear from them in a week. Almost three weeks as of this writing have passed and not a peep from anybody. They could at least give me a canned rejection email instead of wasting my time. Incredibly rude and unprofessional!!
