I applied and heard back in less than a week. We then scheduled a virtual Zoom call for the interview. It was pretty simple: I joined the call, they had a list of questions, and I answered them. I also got to ask my own questions at the end. They mainly wanted to know if my interests match the organization's and if I'd be a good cultural fit.

The interview was very informal and casual. I spoke to one of the employees in the department that I was applying for the internship in and he asked me questions about my interests in the field and what I thought I could contribute to Public Citizen. He allowed me time for questions about the role as well, and gave me background on his own education and career path.
