Easy interview
Application
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Military Sealift Command
Interview
Brief interview with a Chief Engineer. Not difficult, just general questions about comfort with systems and operations. It was very casual and didn't feel like there was a lot of pressure. It was a one-on-one format. The online forms and paperwork leading up to the interview were exhausting and extensive likely because of all the background/security checks required for federal employment.
Application was mainly composed of written compositions addressing their specific prompts. The interview was relatively quick....less than an hour. It was a one on one meeting. It was an overall good experience. Very organized and straight to the point.

Interview
Recruited from campus career fair. Applied online. Very straight forward - given a packet to follow. Asked questions that would show that you are a devoted merchant mariner.
The interview was a total joke. I spoke to my interviewer about what ports I traveled to while I was a cadet interning with the company. I can't even think of a way to legitimately describe this interview in 30 words without rambling on and being nonsensical
