Intelligence Analyst Phase III: Structured Interview

Phase III is a one-hour structured interview that assesses oral communication, interpersonal skills,
organizing and planning, and analytical thinking. Each panel will consist of three senior-level Intelligence
Analysts and all interviews will be recorded. Each panel will read a standardized script to the applicant
before the interview begins and score each interview when completed.

Tips for the Structured Interview

  • Be yourself. – The evaluators will be taking notes during the interview to assess them in documenting the results. Do not let this distract you.
  • Provide detailed information when answering the interview questions. Do not be modest in your responses. To provide the best examples of your skills and abilities, draw from all of your life’s experiences (not just the most recent ones). Experiences can be from work or school.
  • Remember that the interview panel has no applicant information about you. They have not seen your application. They only know your name.
  • Do not make assumptions about what the evaluators are seeking. The interview instructions are straightforward. There are no “trick” questions.
  • Study your resume and be able to speak about how your experiences match with the critical skills and abilities required of Intelligence Analysts.
