I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at U.S. Senate (Washington, DC) in Aug 2025
Interview
Application included two written statements, resume, three recommendations, and a cover letter. I had one phone screening interview with operations staff. A few emails and received an offer letter 2-3 weeks after screening.
Applied pretty late into the process. Heard back 3 weeks after applying and interviewed that same week. Interviewers were personable and made the experience really comfortable which helped calm my nerves. Received an offer 2 weeks later.
