It was a single interview round with someone from the department I was interested in. It was pretty chill and conversational, mostly about my resume, and my good and bad points. The person interviewing me was nice and easy to chat with. They gave me a good idea of what the job would be like.

I first saw a posting for this internship on my graduate school's listserv, but it turned out that position was already taken. I then reapplied for a different, unpaid position. About a week later, I interviewed with the department head and two other people I'd be working with. I heard back about whether I got the position about a week after that.
