I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Defense Digital Service (Bristol, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
Tough, you will have to do a presentation on an aspect of Project Management practice, namely APM and will be asked questions that are supposed to be in line with their behaviours documentation, this seems to vary hugely between interviewers. Some will demand that you hit all of the buzzwords and mark you down if you don't, others are looking for examples of live experience. Please don't expect the role to live up to the rigour of the interviewing process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between management and leadership. What experience do you have of working with awkward stakeholders inside and outside an organisation. How do you manage a lack of time/SQEP resource/defined requirements.
I applied online. I interviewed at Defense Digital Service (Washington, DC) in Sep 2021
Interview
There were 5 interviews and I completed 4. The last one was supposed to be with the deputy director, but the initial interview was with the acting deputy director, so I'm not sure what was going on there. I was told they were not moving forward with me after the Emotional Intelligence interview for culture fit with their chief of staff.
