U.S. Department of State Internship interview questions

I interviewed for multiple offices. The first interviewer called me late and asked irrelevant/social questions. My second experience was a positive experience, asking about my academic research and international experience. The interviewer was very well-informed and interested in hearing about my experience.

It was a on one interview with country desk officer who was also supervisor for internship. In general interviews are over the phone as all of the offices/bureaus are trying to secure their top choice before other offices can get you.
