Global Health Corps General Intern Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty standard. The interviewer kept things objective, without giving any positive or negative feedback. The whole thing took about 25 minutes. The hardest question was about a mistake I made and what I learned from it. I wasn't ready for it, but I discussed a negative experience and how I turned it into a positive. I took my time to answer that one, and the interviewer was patient. All in all, the questions felt fair and the difficulty was average. Make sure you know about the Global Health Corps program and their values. Their website is super helpful, so spend time checking out all the sections.

Interviewed as a semi-finalist in March for a position that was later cancelled. Then interviewed as a finalist in April for a different position entirely -- which I had not originally applied for. I was told I would hear back about that position within a week; I didn't hear anything until mid-June, when I emailed GHC asking for a status update and found out that I was on some sort of waitlist. I finally got a rejection email at the end of June, over 2 months from when I was promised a final decision. Overall, I'm leaving with a poor impression of GHC because (a) really terrible communication/notification (b) I got the sense that they're internally pretty disorganized (i.e. cancelling a position in the middle of the application cycle?!) (c) they don't really seem to be following the procedure outlined on the website, which strikes me as sketchy (i.e. I was named a finalist for something I didn't originally apply for; I've heard anecdotally of them pulling people off the waitlist to fill positions that they did not interview for). Will not reapply.

My application experience was a mess, spanning from Jan 17th to May 26th. I was a semi-finalist for three roles, one I hadn't applied for but was told I was a good fit for, requiring a new essay. During that interview, it was stressed I wasn't a good fit, as I suspected. I became a finalist for one position, and in late April, was offered a second finalist spot, contingent on another essay, which I submitted within the two-day window. For Position 1, I had a surprise panel interview, unlike any previous experience where I was always informed beforehand about who I'd speak with (at least the number of people or their roles). The interview also had spotty Skye connection, rushed, and vague questions. For Position 2, I never heard about an interview despite submitting the required essay for finalist consideration. After two follow-ups, I was told in May that the role couldn't be offered, not even a chance to interview. This was my second and last attempt at applying for GHC, and I'm looking for other ways to make an impact that don't involve navigating such a poorly managed application process.
