Does anyone have tips for the structured interview process? I’ve done my research but am not getting past the first round. My credentials must be acceptable if I’m being invited to interview at all. Since post-interview feedback isn’t provided, I’m sort of grasping at straws here!

2 tips that have been successful for me. You should mention 2 - 3 key terms/duties referenced in the posting and explain how you have done the work or have an interest in that work. Also, always ask a question to the interviewer

Always use the word "mission" during the interview; otherwise, I'm going to think you are applying for the pay.

Yeah is that something I really have to convince an interviewer of for a gov job? I would be taking like over 50% pay cut to work for the government from biglaw.

I get the focus on the mission though.
