The interview process for The Borgen Project was pretty simple and conducted over Skype. First, I had to submit writing samples that they liked. Then, they gave me a writing test to check my journalist skills. After passing that, I scheduled a Skype interview. My manager was really nice and laid-back. She asked me questions about how I'd explain global poverty, what I knew about The Borgen Project, and if I had any fundraising experience. If you do your homework, you'll get an offer. They got back to me quickly after the interview and sent training information the next day.
