I interviewed for a Heritage Internship. The process was straightforward and professional but not overly formal. There were two interviewers (a heritage officer and a learning manager) and the whole thing lasted about 40 minutes. They started by asking about my background and why I was interested in heritage work. Then they moved into competency-style questions.
