Phone screening. I told the interviewer that I've quit my job a few months ago. He responded "Do you consider yourself jobless?" This is a very odd question, which means that he is judgemental and very conservative in a bad way, and believes that everybody strives to be continuously employed at all times, which is simply not true. The interviewer asked odd questions. Can I wait for 2-3 months for the "public trust" background check? Then he said that all NASA jobs that he has pay <130,000/yr, so my expectation of 150,000+ can't possibly be met. The inter view was performed by a company called "Bay Systems" that said that they represent NASA. The interviewer was located in NYC. I don't know how can they ever hire anybody good in NASA with this attitude. My opinion about NASA has dropped after I applied for a job. Now I understand why they are failing in the last few decades, and are outsourcing more and more to private companies. NASA has no idea how to hire.

A phone interview with some basic question about experience and future plans. On the next day onsite interview with 4 peoples asking some technical questions.
