US Marine Corps Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Initially, one must talk to a recruiter about their interest in becoming a Marine. If an applicant has a college degree or, in some cases, some college credit, they will be referred to talk to an Officer Selection Officer (OSO) to determine if they are eligible for commissioning as an officer.

Regardless if the applicant wants to enlist or commission, they must complete a full 10-year background check. For those seeking a higher-level security job, the investigation goes even further in depth. Additionally, all applicants must complete a full physical examination. They must also be able to complete a physical fitness test.

The paperwork that must be completed is quite extensive, and can go as quickly as one day, but depending on individual circumstances, may take a couple of days to a week to complete the process.

Upon being found qualified, the applicant will be assigned a date to commence their initial training. This date, depending on current enlistment policies and available openings, may be nearly immediate to close to a year.

Negotiation Details – There is little to no negotiation when coming into the military. Some people may qualify for enlistment at a higher rank, based on prior ROTC education, college credit, etc. But besides that, no much to speak of when it comes to negotiation. You either want to serve or not. Everyone starts at the bottom and earns his/her way to the top.

Interview Details Just go to a recruiter.

Interview Details I was required to take the ASVAB before I was allowed to choose from open career fields, I was allowed 3 slots to choose from by personal preference. A background check is required and I would suggest letting the people you put down as a reference know that you did so otherwise they will be caught by surprise. I went through a few drug tests throughout the 6 month process, and I was also transported to my local MEPS office to take a physical and to ensure that I was fit for duty.

Interview Details Screening process much more thorough than a normal job application. Criminal record, aptitude test scores, and potential security concerns are all reviewed. A lot of paperwork to fill out. This is a commitment; you cannot quit until your contract is over.

Negotiation Details – You may be able to negotiate a sign on bonus.

Interview Details Hiring changes so drastically that I can't really remember what my requriements were. Physical fitness is, of course, an important issue to account for. Additionally, having a clean legal record and no offensive and overly-visible tattoos will aid in getting through some of the background issues. Well-educated and very bright applicants are always a welcome addition.

Interview Details Hardest part of the process was to put together the whole package, proper level of physical fitness, education and you need to realize every time you meet someone in the recruiter's office is part of the interview process, it can be a long process but if you want to be part of the USMC, you need to put the work in.

Negotiation Details – None.

Interview Details There is not an actual interview process so much as a screening process that can last from a couple of weeks to several months. The screening process includes a rigorous medical and dental screening, an extensive background check, drug screening, physical fitness tests, ASVAB testing to identify job placement options.

Interview Details They had multiple performance test for your physical abilities. I had to travel 4 hours to take the ASVAB test and was extremely nervous. Some parts of the test were extremely difficult and focused on information learned in high school. The enlisting process was again 4 hours away and very awkward. A lot of people had their parents with them and other family.

Interview Details The interview consists of providing documentation of eligibility for military service. Usually proof of citizenship or legal status in the United States, as well as a high school diploma and a background check. There is also a height and weight minimum and maximum requirement.

Negotiation Details – The base pay is dependent on your rank and the benefits are pre-defined
