Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at US Public Health Service (Bethesda, MD) in Apr 2024

Interview

Appointment board interview. The interview consists of senior board members asking various questions determining fitness for USPHS. The interview was conducted over the phone and at times a little hard to hear when overlapping talking was present, but common. Overall questions were very straightforward and interview lasted about 15 min.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Be prepared to answer why you chose USPHS, what you think qualities of a leader are, and give a personal leadership example. There are also scenario-based questions asking to describe a time you had to make a decision under pressure, how you will handle being deployed and are you aware of the commitment.

Application

I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Public Health Service (Albuquerque, NM) in Jan 2018

Interview

Three-person panel, face-to-face interview. There were three people in the room and two on the phone. The two individuals on the phone were the subject matter experts. It seemed that their role was to try and trip me up. However, during the interview process they revealed an inferior grasp of the technical material relative to mine. It was fun.
