This was a two-round interview process that was pretty straightforward. The first round was with the intern coordinators, and the second round involved meeting with a VP or Partner. They wanted to gauge my understanding of why lobbying is important, what sets our firm apart, and which policy areas I'm passionate about.

I had a very easy interview with the head of the team. They asked more about my experiences and background rather than broad politics questions. I received helpful information about the program and the interviewer was quite friendly. I would definitely recommend anyone apply to positions at the Wilson Center.

I had a quick interview with the program director. We mostly talked about my background and experience. A good part of the interview focused on copy editing and research skills, and I had both.
