They wouldn’t pay for you to fly out and interview?

I’ve never heard of a company making interviewees pay their own way to fly out. Is that a federal government thing?

Have you ever applied to a job / internship that seemed far out reach?

I had to do it for my federal interview. I paid flight, room, rental car.

i got to interview with the CIA before I backed out. Does that count?

"backed out", right. we know you just can't tell us you got the job. instead you work for "Department of the Interior"

I took the psych test and realized that my wife would not put up with any of it

Coincidentally, a future manager had worked for the CIA for a few years.

My old supervisor told me she interviewed for a job with the CIA.

Yes, went from host of a reality show to president of a large country.

1/12/21 11:14am

I tried and almost immediately got a response that I didn't meet the minimum
