I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Coast Guard (Chesapeake, VA) in Apr 2011
Interview
The application is as expected, and if you are called into an interview, expect a table of 2-3 interviewers. They are warm and welcoming, giving you information first before asking questions. If you are called back with an opening, you will need to submit a lengthy questionnaire for security reasons as most federal jobs require.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions asking to recall "a time that...." were hard
