For all candidates applying for a position within the NEA, NASA, or for an office staff position within NESPA, we follow a comprehensive procedure to ensure we select the best candidates. For external candidates, the process begins with an online screener, which will be sent to applicants via email.

This stage is a crucial opportunity for candidates to showcase their qualifications. After reviewing the one-way video submissions, selected candidates will be contacted by phone for an in-person interview.

We anticipate interviews being held in May and extending offers in early June.
