I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Mikan Associates (Chicago, IL) in June 2015
Interview
They got back to me within a few day of applying to schedule a phone interview which went well and they asked me to come in for an in person interview the next week. They asked about my background and skills but it turned out that even though they described it as an internship the position was a part time job to do IT support. They were looking for one person to do all their IT work.
I did not have all the necessary skills and did not receive an offer.
