After being shortlisted, I only had one interview, which was about a thirty-minute call. During the call, I was asked about my experience, and I also got to ask questions about the position, the organization, and the responsibilities I would have as an intern at the Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy.

It was a short phone call where they asked about my skills and interests, and why I was applying for the job. They also asked about the languages I speak and my Excel skills, and if I had the financial ability or parental permission to support myself during the unpaid internship in Washington DC.
