Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Social Security Administration (San Jose, CA) en jul 2015
Entrevista
I applied online. The process took less than a month. I interviewed over the phone with three or four currently attorneys/administrators at the Social Security Administration. The interview took about 30 minutes and I answered about 5-6 questions. Most of the questions were behavioral in nature. Some were pretty basic, asking me if I was comfortable using the computer and to list the computer programs I was comfortable with. (Microsoft word, excel, etc.)
The questions seemed scripted and there were often long pauses after my answer as the administrators took notes. Overall, the process felt awkward. I did not have time to really introduce myself or explain why I was a good candidate. Instead I answered their pre-scripted questions.

Entrevista
Panel interview over the phone. Scripted questions mostly about work environment, such as handling high production quotas and dealing with coworkers. No legal questions; very straight forward. Many generic questions like “what’s your greatest strength/weakness”, etc. Took about 30 minutes. Scheduling was very last minute, interviewer called several times and left voicemails saying what time she’ll try again the next day.

There’s a very structured phone interview followed by written evaluation (the written exam part is a newer thing). Always more than one interviewer on the phone and they take turns asking questions.

When I interviewed, they were hiring many for the same class. All of the interviews were telephone interviews. I believe there were one or two group phone interviews.

The questions are structured. Not much back and forth--ie its not conversational. There were lots of questions dealing with handling processes and quality vs quantity. The job can be demanding with strict deadlines. The questions are designed to help them determine how you would handle.
