First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene.
Intern
The interview process was simple and straightforward. I met with several department heads in a series of interviews in person. Since it was an intern interview many years ago, virtual wasn't an option. The set up is quite cumbersome though from a paperwork perspective.
- Can you describe your career aspirations for the next decade?
- Which areas of public health are you most passionate about?
- What are your specific research interests within infectious disease?
Intern
I got an interview offer via email, and then had a phone call. About two weeks after that, I had an onsite interview with two people, who were CRS I and II. The interview was pretty standard, just asking and answering questions. They used a question template and wrote down my answers. They sent me an offer by email a week later.
- Are you more effective working alone or as part of a team?

It was a pretty standard interview process. I had one to two rounds with people who I would be working with directly. Most of the questions were behavioral, not technical. Overall, I had a really pleasant experience.

- What specifically about this program interests you?
