This was a Zoom interview with the manager and team leads for the internship role. They were looking for customer service experience, and they mentioned that tech skills are taught on the job. It was a good experience and it turns into a paid offer if you do well.

I applied through Handshake and then the Office of Advancement reached out to me. They set up an interview for about 3 weeks later. It was one interview, lasting around 30-40 minutes, and felt more like a conversation with 3 people.

Behavioral Presentation

So I got a call about 3 weeks after I submitted my application, and they said I was invited for a video interview. We talked about my qualifications and project ideas, and mostly they wanted to see if I was a good fit for the mission, vision, and the program itself. The next day, they called again and invited me for a second in-person interview, which was two weeks later. A little over a week after that second interview, I got a rejection email. Overall, it was a pretty nice and easy process.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • What do you consider your strengths?
  • How do you feel about teamwork versus individual work?
  • Can you tell me about your project proposal?
