Interview
Panelists were extremely friendly and seemed to enjoy working at WRI. Seems like a collaborative, mission-driven environment. Questions were very resume-based and the process was well-streamlined. Phone screen --> video panel interview --> writing sample --> offer.

Met hiring manager at UN conference on climate change, establish connection.
Applied internship online and went through 3 phone interviews and one in-person interview.
