We talked about my experience with data analysis, and I discussed some relevant experiences related to energy development and teamwork. They also asked about my interest in working in the public sector. It was a good interview overall, but I didn't receive an offer.

I had one phone call with the intern program coordinator and a project manager. I got the job right after the interview. I then had to wait a couple of weeks while they checked my references before they could make an offer.
