[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently interviewed for a position within the division of enforcement.

Job posting closed: 03/21/2012
Called for interview: 05/25/2012
USAJOBs notification of referral to SO: 05/29/2012.
Interviewed on 06/14/2012.

It was a very laid back interview. Met with 3 of the associate regional directors, and it seemed to go very well. The SO stated it would be a couple weeks; however, I have not heard anything. Im guessing this is normal for the SEC? Does anyone have any insight? And will I be notified either way?[/quote]

It was a very laid back interview?  The Division of Enforcement just instituted a new hiring process consisting of a two, hour long panel interviews consisting of structured hypotheticals and a three-hour writing exercise.  They are required to ask each candidate all of the same questions and not to deviate from the script.  It's anything but laid back.  Did you really interview with Enforcement or was it another division and you're trying not to be outted?[/quote]

I interviewed with Enforcement (regional office) two weeks ago, and just found this thread.  The interview was exactly as you describe.  Not at all laid back, extremely rigid, entirely scripted, but also not particularly challenging or difficult hypos.  In any event, my question is not so much about timing (I expect it to take quite some time to hear anything, and I certainly didn't expect to hear by now), but about how exactly your performance gets evaluated during this new hiring process.  Does each interviewer on your panels grade how he thinks you did?  Do you get some sort of numeric score?  Or is it an up-or-down / hire-don't-hire type of assessment?  Do they submit comments to anybody?  If so, how are those taken into account?  Who evaluates the writing exercise?  How is it scored/graded/assessed?  How is a candidate's performance during the panel interviews weighted relative to his or her performance on the written part?

Any insight that anybody can provide would be much appreciated.[/quote]
