Question 1
Tell me about your resume
What do you know about United Way?
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Way (San Antonio, TX) in Jun 2010
Interview
Opportunity was offered through the graduate MPA (Master's of Public Administration) program at UTSA. Went through the internship department in the college of public policy and applied. The internship is paid, and offers school credit for the MPA program. Highly competitive but amazing opportunity.

Question 1
They will ask you why you deserve the internship, and you must do this standing as if you are giving a speech "selling yourself".
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at United Way (Athens, GA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Very brief. Very conversational. Asked a lot about my resume and past experiences. There were two ladies who were very nice and wanted to actually learn more about what I had to offer as oppose to aimlessly quizzing me.
I applied online. I interviewed at United Way (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2017
Interview
I applied, they got back to me quickly to set a time for an interview. They kept me informed throughout the process. Wonderfully easy. Then they said they would be in touch, probably by the end of the week. This was Tuesday morning. Nothing, nothing, nothing. I emailed, which generated a "we'll be in touch" reply. I sent along an relevant article and an announcement for a local workshop, which generated "thanks for this" responses. Finally, 3 1/2 weeks later, they responded to my "I'm still interested" email with the notice that they had filled the position.
