Interview
applied online at the end of august, was contacted for a phone interview mid-september, did interview and thought it went reasonably well, was told i should hear back in the next week about if i was selected for the second interview (they had asked about my availability for a second interview the next week). about a month later, i finally got an email saying i was not selected to continue on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
why i wanted the job/professional goals, my interest in the organization, what my experience was with minimal supervision (as the supervisor for the position has a different full-time job and only occasionally comes into the office), expected salary (was listed in the job description as mid 30s, but turned out it was actually ~32,000 - 35,000 - why this wasn't explicit in the description, i don't know)

Interview
The Interview Process was pretty straightforward. I wasn't aware that it was a panel interview and that was pretty surprising. In retrospect I wish they had told me that it was going to be a panel interview instead of 1:1. Everyone's friendly and takes turns asking questions (as per usual).

Interview
I applied for the internship following a posting on the University of Washington Jackson School listserv. Our career counselor stressed how professional the organization was, and how competitive the internships were. This was stressed to me again in my original interview. I was interviewed by 2 different people, the program officer and the program director, who I would be working with directly. They also stressed to me how professional the office was and let me know what to expect a bit about the job. In general they asked very standard interview questions and were pleasant to work with.

Question 1
All questions were pretty standard and within reason of what you would expect for an unpaid internship position. They did ask me to explain why the internship would be valuable to me (as I was a graduate student at the time with several years of private sector work experience). That was a bit of a surprise for me, but not really hard to answer, the job market being what it is and the fact that it is difficult to get employment at a non profit with no non profit experiencce.
