For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.

If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, a security clearance (Secret), then the final offer with your start date.

Your resume must be two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
List hours per week for each job on your resume, or your application may be marked incomplete.
