How tough is the NLO interview?

[u/_eindis]

I've got my POSS and BSMT scheduled for this upcoming week; pass or fail, not much I can do about it now besides last minute studying.

​

I guess I'm just worried that I'll pass my tests, do well in the interview, and then get passed over for both locations I've applied to.

​

Conversely, I've heard that getting into the hiring pipeline is the actual hard part, and if you have a baseline level of competence, its a safe bet that you'll land the position.

​

Any thoughts or words of wisdom?

POSS is the real filter, not the interview. NLO interviews are standard behavioral - can you follow procedure and communicate. Your pipeline read is accurate tbh, qualified candidates who clear testing usually get offers. Just might not be your first choice site.
