Physical Scientist Interview

Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Environmental Protection Agency in Mar 2021

Interview

Conducted a Teams interview with a panel of 3 other scientists and a division manager. They asked some general behavioral and situational type questions, as well some questions about my background/ resume. Interview panel was very pleasant, professional and relaxed, so the interview didn’t feel like a test which can be the case sometimes when going on federal government interviews.

Tell me about a time you presented technical or scientific information to state regulators. What was the out come? Tell me about your experience reviewing and interpreting scientific data. How did you use this data to form a conclusion? Did the data support your original assumptions? Why the EPA? Why do you want to work in this division?

Very difficult questions that focused on specific situations. I was asked to also cite case law. Everyone was kind, but it was hard to read people as the 1st interview was over the phone. I did not have a second interview.
