I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Schriever AFB, CO) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interviewer describe the job position and explained the current situation with the contract. I was asked about my experiences with the various programs that I was assigned to and the ground systems that were utilized. I did ask if a specific systems that I was familiar with is being currently used for the contract but was explained the the system being in use is unique. I express my interest in learning new skills and that I have a strong learning ability. I also asked about the method of training used to certify system engineers. Training is on-the-job which I also didn't have a problem so long as the tasks are backed up by established procedures. An added plus is that I have an active security clearance which should help in placing me in the facility without hangups. The interviewers were impress with my resume and said that I'll be contacted with the results of the interview.

Question 1
Although the position was not directly command and control, why am I so interested in the position?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Houston, TX)
Interview
I submitted my resume at a career fair. I was then called by HR a few weeks later asking if I'd like to attend one of three interview sessions in three different states (California, Texas, Arizona). I chose Texas and a few weeks later they flew me (as well as about 2 dozen others) in to interview with a few managers. This lasted most of the morning, then they provided lunch and gave us tours of the facilities in the afternoon.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Anaheim, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview was entirely behavioral. They asked to give examples of leadership, taking on challenges, and highlights from my educational/working experience. No technical questions. The interviewer was quiet and reserved while taking notes during my answers. I felt like I nailed the interview based on the conversation I had with the interviewer afterward. However, he explained that they interview many people at career conferences and keep them in a database. Most of the time, there are only a handful of jobs for very specific skill sets that they're searching for and the rest of the interviews go into some generic pile they might dive into at a later time.
