I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at U.S. Department of State in Mar 2017
Interview
The online application process was pretty standard - what seemed to take forever was the Security Clearance. The application was due at least 6 months prior to the start date, once submitted I didn't really hear from them until about a month before it was due to begin. It was another 2 or 3 weeks before I found out whether or not I had obtained the Security Clearance necessary to take on the internship. Not to difficult of a process overall, however, very stressful in terms of having a concrete plan.

It was not too bad. They brought me in sat me down and asked about ny background and interest in working for them. Overall very nice peolle. It was disorganized though.
I was very smooth and the interviewers were very nice. They asked some questions about my experience and were very accommodating even though I said I didn't have much experience it regards to the position.
