Does anyone have experience going through the government interview process?

I'm interviewing with the NCUA and have been told the interview will be about an 1hr, with a 3 person panel, and there will only be 5 questions. So that's about 10 min for each answer. They said no follow up questions will be asked so wondering if anyone has any tips on how to prepare, as I usually go off people's follow up questions or the conversation to get a feel for how the interview is going.

These are usually very rigid questions and you'll have no way to determine how it goes. If you're lucky, you'll have some time at the end for your own questions, otherwise it'll just be you giving your spiel.

In terms of the format itself, just follow STAR for your answers and you'll be as fine as you can be. Unless it's a technical position, questions will generally be pretty generic along the lines of "tell me a time when..."

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.

Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.
