Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a pretty standard interview. They really wanted to know about my research interests and personal experiences. Because OAS staff need to know at least two official languages, the interview could be in Spanish, French, or Portuguese alongside English.

Behavioral Technical
One of the interviews was relaxed and fast. I could clear up all my doubts, and it was more like a conversation. The second interview was much more serious and difficult. Besides telling me about the position, they asked me legal and academic questions that were extremely complicated for an intern.
