I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Borgen Project in Mar 2016
Interview
I had to submit through email my resume, cover letter and several writing samples. Then they said they were interested in me and they asked me to complete a writing skills test within the next 48 hours. Then once I submitted that, they asked me for a Skype interview and I was offered the position following that interview.

Question 1
How were my goals in life going to benefit from this internship?
It was a very simple interview. No surprise questions. A very short interview only lasted 10 minutes or so. The interviewer did not ask many follow up questions. Just read the questions off a list.
I met virtually with interviewer. They asked basic questions about my level of experience and why I wanted the position. They also allowed plenty of time for any questions I had.
