It's always hard to know what to expect when going in for that interview -- and preparation can make all the difference. What is the interview process like at Veterans Affairs?

Any advice on striking the right note?

I HAVE INTERVIEWED FOR SOCIAL WORKER POSITIONS AT THE VA.
THE QUESTIONS ARE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS. YOU TELL OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IN SPECIFIC SITUATIONS. GOOD LUCK!

I work for the VA. The interviews are performance based interviews. They ask you questions, and your responses need to include examples of how you have experienced something in the past. Example: Tell me about a time when you had to discipline an employee how did you handle it? And thinking back would you have done anything differently? Or, Tell me about the most significant document you have prepared in the last 2 years. These are just an example of ones that have been used in recent interviews.

The interviews at VA are PBI - go to VA site and search for example questions. The VA in Mountain Home TN only hires from within except for nursing, doctors and other medical specialist but I notice on your site you have listing for secretary but only current employees qualify to apply so before posting read the area of consideration carefully. You really have to have "know someone" to get a position there.

Hello All, I am new to this board and I am trying to understand the confusing VA hiring process. I thought the initial screening process went through Topeka? Is this right and what is the rest of the process? Thanks for any information.

I've got an interview soon for a supply specialist position within the VA, I was wondering if I need to know any current events that are being asked about from the VA? I know when I was in the Air Force, we were expected to know all current events in the world when going up to the promotion board.
