The interview process is structured and uses PBI-based questions. It's not too long, and you should hear back about an offer within two weeks. They also want to get to know you as a person, so I'd suggest taking notes.

It was a brief interview process, with one-on-one interviews conducted sequentially. The interviews weren't overly challenging. One interviewer seemed pretty laid-back, while the other came across as a bit disorganized. Despite the disorganization, the second interviewer offered me the position. However, they were then transferred to a different program within the VA, requiring the Director of Training to arrange a last-minute placement for me. It's worth noting that for internships with the VA, the initial interview is with the VA itself, and they then assign you to a department or program. This assignment might align with your interests or be completely unrelated.
