      GS12 Chemist Interview

      Feb 21, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      VAFB, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Air Force (VAFB, CA) in May 2012

      Interview

      An application needs to be completed and submitted on the USA Jobs site for a specific job. If selected within the top 3 candidates, a thorough background check will then be done. If background checks out, then a very intense and detailed interview will be done. Advice: Get to the point quickly without extra conversation. Give additional information, only if asked.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Examples of questions and answers. 1) Are you willing to go overseas to support air missions at a undisclosed U.N. Air Base? - Yes. 2) Have you ever managed a laboratory and personnel (>10+)? - Yes. 3) Can you fix laboratory equipment or manage and expedite getting equipment back up and performing analytical results for support critical missions? - Yes. 4) Can you work with explosive and dangerous chemical alone? - Yes. 5) Have you ever trained Chemists to replace you? - Yes, numerous times. 6) Can you write SOP's for equipment (for both the lab building equipment & for the analytical laboratory instruments)? Write it at both the Chemist level and the Lab Technician comprehensive level? - Yes.
