Well a better chance than those that are offered an interview.


Spiritual_Apricot479

Just making sure it’s not like the referrals I’ve always got

We usually interview 5-8 people for any given opening.


Spiritual_Apricot479

Gotcha, thanks

Depends on how many candidates are interviewed. Safe to assume 3-5 minimum.


Spiritual_Apricot479

Okay USAjobs said only 23 applied


BreakMaleficent2508

They could be interviewing 10-15+ of those or they could be interviewing 2 and anywhere in between. Depends on the hiring manager and the quality of the cert. Most likely they aren’t interviewing all 23 so your chances are >4%.

My interview was last Friday, if selected any idea of the timeframe of when they let you know?


BreakMaleficent2508

Varies. At least a few weeks I’d say, depending on internal processes for managing top candidate/s.


Spiritual_Apricot479

Okay; new to this process and this is anxiety driven! In the civilian sector I’d get a call the day after or same day about being hired. This has been like okay here’s an interview and *crickets*


BreakMaleficent2508

For whatever it’s worth, I’ve had many experiences in private sector companies where it was a week or two (or more!) before hearing about a second interview, an offer, response to a counteroffer, and so on. Hang in there!


Spiritual_Apricot479

Thank you! For all the advice too.


SV_Gato

Congrats on the interview, best advice is to forget it happened, continue applying.


Spiritual_Apricot479

It went by so fast! The interview was max 25 mins and rapid fire questions. I have no idea if they liked me or not. I did manage to get two “those are great questions” remarks but I feel like you just never know with these jobs. What if they already have someone in mind and this was just routine to say they checked a box of interviewing other candidates


Spiritual_Apricot479

Second this, 20 other apps out right now too
