I have a one hour phone interview with Accenture Federal Services. Any tips on what to expect? I’ve never had a phone interview that long.

Yep when I interviewed at AFS the interview time was scheduled for an hour. They wanted to bring me in for a second in person interview after 15 minutes.

Phone interview process is just to ensure you’re a normal human that can hold conversation. Don’t worry too much about it.

Had one - if it’s a chat with the recruiter it may not take a full hour and will be more about assessing your background and finding out what you’re looking for. I also had a one hour Technical Skills interview with a senior manager that took every bit of the hour it was a detailed conversation about my prior experience.

No problem- I had already summarized all of the experiences in advance and this worked tremendously and got me a face to face interview. Good luck!

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
