Applied online at Monster to a posting for a Senior Software Lead at the Engineering and Research Company website. 15 days later the local site supervisor called me to set up an interview. I filled out another application and went for an interview. The interview went well, was in two parts. First was administrative and second was technical. Informed that there was several more interviews pending and I would be called back for an interview with the Government rep and with the local software guru if I qualified. 2 weeks later I was called back and given a C++ software competence test (basically writing down what some code did) and then an interview with the government rep as above. 3 weeks later I was called and informed that I would have to reapply and re-interview as the company had lost the contract and the new company needed all new paperwork. I then received an offer for a different position, that of Senior Software Engineer, because they decided not to implement the Lead role.
