Selected, BME, Alexandria, GS-7 Step 10.
Quick Timeline:
- Applied before the 10/20/2019 cutoff.
- Referred on 11/7.
- Received an interview invite on 11/18.
- Interviewed on 11/20.
- Received the OF-306 on 12/12.
- Tentative offer on 12/13.
Interview is through WebEX, a video-conference app. Audio connection was a little complex to set up so the interviewer allowed me to call via cellphone for audio with WebEX simultaneously.
Interviewer was up-front about the interview being straightforward with about 4-5 questions as written here in glassdoor. Interviewer was transparent that interview results around the holiday season will be slower.
Some things I did that may help:
- Ask specific questions about the position (show genuine interest/knowledge of the USPTO).
- Answer specifically (STAR method): fewer, repetitive questions merit specific/longer answers.
- Emphasize research experience (position relies heavily on independent research on prior art).
- Smile, be approachable and non-brooding.
