The interview might be remote or in-person. You'll likely have a panel interview with the office director and a couple of current interns who can tell you about the day-to-day. They ask nice questions and it's a friendly vibe, but you really need to know what the agency does because they'll ask you about it.

I applied online and then had one in-person interview at my college campus. The interviewer was really nice and hired me right there, pending a background check and fingerprinting. The whole thing was about 30 minutes. Since the job was for the next semester, I had time for the background check and fingerprinting. They asked about my familiarity with the US Commercial Service and my resume.
