US Department of Veterans Affairs Police Officer Interview Questions

Interviewers were thorough and made sure I understood the questions being asked. The process was fair and I was given every opportunity to explain my qualifications as well ask my own questions pertaining to the job.

Direct hire, very easy process. Submitted resume to the department head and received my conditional offer a month later. The hiring process took awhile because the HR department had some internal issues

Applied and was selected to interview. The interview as informal and very unprofessional and very much unlike any civilian interview process. The interview was unprofessional due to the interviewers not seemingly taking the process seriously themselves and joking the entire time inappropriately. Questions were seemingly out of left field and caused the interview to go over the allotted time limit. Inappropriate questions were asked during the interview which alluded to what could be construed as ageism. After interviewing with civilian law enforcement and going through the process with an offer I would highly recommend anyone interested go that route instead of here. I am considering filing a formal complaint on the process. Be wary.

The interview process was fairly easy and smooth. There were detailed, indepth background investigations as well as interviews with neighbors, family and friends. There was also financial background checks. All in all it went pretty smooth.

Submitted application, resume, and supporting paperwork in September. Position closed the next day. Two weeks later I received phone call from administration and scheduled a phone interview (I live about 50 miles away). A week later I had a phone interview with a 3-member panel consisting of various police chiefs and bigwigs. They asked situational questions about times when I've done _________. I was asked 5 questions, then was allowed to ask questions myself. Whole interview took about 20 minutes.

Direct hire so no interview was needed. I had prior police experience so my resume spoke for itself. Spoke to human resources on the phone to go more in depth of my experience.

Was first called to confirm I was interested in the position then invited to an interview. I checked in with the officer and waited in the lobby on the day of the interview. I was then escorted to a board room where I was interviewed by a five person panel, including one human resources representative. After completing the interview, the escort informed me I would likely get an offer. I later received a call to schedule a chief's interview. The Chief's interview was very relaxed, one on one, in the same board room as the first interview.

Interview was a standard board style interview for federal jobs. You sit in front of 3 senior officers and they ask you 12 questions. The interview is a Behavior Based Interview. I recommend searching Behavior Based Interview on google and do a little research on them before going. It will help you a lot and give you an idea about the types of questions they ask. I could tell you the questions they asked but it wouldn't help because they don't ask the same questions every time.

one interview with a panel, and a series of 4 questions per member. The entire process took almost a year from applying to getting hired. After getting hired even if you were a seasoned Police Officer you still have to attend their joke and a waste of an academy.
