First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at NYC Comptroller.
Intern
The interview process was pretty straightforward. About 3-4 weeks after I sent in my resume and cover letter via my college career site, they called me to schedule an in-person interview. I met with three interviewers in one conference room. They asked me questions about things on my resume, like my coursework and technical experience. They also asked about my availability for commuting and my weekly schedule, and then offered me the job less than a day after the interview.
- Can you discuss specific items on your resume, such as coursework and technical experience?
- What is your availability regarding work hours and commute?
- What are your long-term career aspirations?
Intern
So, basically, I had this one interview, and they hit me with the standard questions about managing projects, what I'm good at, what I'm not so good at, and just generally about stuff I've done before. After that, maybe a week or two after chatting with my future boss, they gave me the offer.
- Can you share an instance where you managed a challenging project previously?
- What are your strengths?
- What are your weaknesses?
Intern
I heard back about a month before the interviews. The interviews went alright, but I was asked to follow up in two months. I followed up twice but never got a response.
- Can you tell me about yourself in relation to our company's work?
- What news sources do you follow?
