This was perhaps the speediest interview timeline I have ever seen, though I should note that the process will vary between offices and their current workload. The team was incredibly friendly, and their questions were useful. They provided a ton of information about the office and gave me a great sense for the day-to-day. All around, I give this interview process high marks!

First, there was a quick phone screening where they asked basic questions about my background and experience. After that, I had an in-person interview with both my direct supervisor and a senior manager. Lastly, they gave me another call to ask more questions about my personality. Some questions touched on international development, so it's good to know about the work CSIS does.

The interview process involved two rounds. The first round was a 30-minute conversation with the associate director of the department. The final round, lasting an hour, was with both the associate and the head of the department. The focus was primarily on your administrative abilities and any past experience you have in assisting senior management.
