Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
This position was an internal hire. Due to the great inherent responsibility and handling of sensitive information in a hostile kinetic environment, the position's application and hiring process was quite extensive. First was the submission of one's personnel file, including performance reviews and personal information regarding training and work history. Once a packet was accepted, the group was given a five-day course on the daily responsibilities of the position, followed by a test. If the test was passed, one would be interviewed by the Command Sergeant Major (CSM) with a First Sergeant sponsor asking to elaborate on the nature of one's aspirations to fill the position and what makes them believe that they are the most qualified above their peers. The CSM then chose the top four candidates and instructed us to begin the application process for the adequate security clearances and administer a sample for drug testing. Once all was passed, two primary and two alternates were given the position.

If I was to provide advice for a future applicant to such a position, it would be to remain confident in your abilities and maintain professional bearing through the interview; if these are lost, then the CSM can only imagine that your composure would fail during an on-the-job incident, costing lives.

Overall, I very much enjoyed the fast-paced environment of the position, as well as the responsibilities given to me. The office was filled with only the most professional of individuals; information flowed quite freely, peers were reliable and everyone was quite familiar with their duties.
