I received an email letting me know about a potential interview. I had the One interview and it took them about a month and a half to decide whether I was to receive a decision about the offer/program
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SEC (Washington, DC) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview was fairly relaxed. I was interviewed by one staff attorney and one higher up. They were friendly, kind, and easy to connect with. Gave a very good impression of the Commission.

Question 1
Why do you want to work here, and more specifically, why do you want to work for the Division of Investment Management?
The interview consisted of just one phone call, discussing what classes I took, what past experiences I had. Don't be afraid to reach out again if they do not get back to you - I reached out a week after I was supposed to get a decision, and immediately was called on the phone with the offer.

Question 1
General questions about classes and past experiences. If you have some demonstrated knowledge and interest in SEC's work that helps.
