The job was for Internship in Building Community (IBC) at Columbia which was an 8-week internship over the summer that allowed college students the opportunity to serve as mentors and disciplinarians for Columbia's high school program. The hiring process consisted of a preliminary screening where the applicant is required to submit a cover letter and and a form consisting of a couple essay questions about community. If selected, the applicant is offered an interview over Skype that lasts for about 30-40 minutes. The program got back to me by the end of the week with a response.

Interview was easy, quick, and painless. I got the internship position right away after a 30 minute interview. It was also a bilingual interview, done in Japanese and English. They wanted to make sure that I was good at managing myself and time responsibilities.
