The interview process was super competitive but totally worth it, especially at my university where getting a summer internship is tough. The team members at Peace Corps were fantastic and asked some really great questions. I really enjoyed working there after the interviews too.

I was called in for an interview and met with two staff members. It was pretty casual, they introduced themselves, described the work and position, and asked a few questions about my qualifications. The whole thing took about 20-30 mins.

The interview was straightforward, though anticipating the exact questions was challenging. They inquired about my experience relevant to the tasks involved. I was concerned about areas where I lacked knowledge, but the purpose seemed to be identifying training needs. Two interviewers conducted the session, each asking questions pertinent to the expected job duties, my learning potential, and the value the role would bring to my career. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, not at all intimidating. I was given ample time for questions, all of which were addressed.
