Candidate-reported interview process

The questions were really straightforward. Mostly, they asked about specific experiences from my resume and then went into more detail about the job. It felt like a two-way conversation towards the end. I heard back about 2 weeks later that I got the position.

The interview was nice and casual. Very to the point. It was conducted over zoom. Make sure to dress well and be prepared! Read over the description of the internship very carefully. You will love it here.

They'll start by going through your resume. Make sure to send in a cover letter, because they'll ask you about the specifics from it. Be sure to show confidence and curiosity. They will also ask how many hours you can dedicate each week.
