All internship and apprenticeship applications are sent by email to the ministry's HR department, who does an initial screening and forwards 4-5 applications to the relevant department. The department then interviews candidates, usually after a good 6 weeks of waiting. The interview itself was 45 minutes long and took place in person at Quai d'Orsay. Several weeks after the interview, I received a generic email from the deputy director who interviewed me, rejecting my application. I never received any feedback on what I could have improved during the interview.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Tell me about yourself in 3 minutes, but don't just repeat your cover letter.
  • What is your interest in the sub-department's area?
  • Can you give an example of a difficulty you faced in a professional setting and how you handled it?
