I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Farm Sanctuary (Watkins Glen, NY) in May 2023
Interview
There were two interviews total, which I appreciated. Some other nonprofits I've interviewed with have four interviews.
1. With Maria, recruiter, who was WONDERFUL
2. With two senior leaders of the department. They were also very kind.
I had to write answers to several questions in an essay format. They emailed me and had me fill out calendar appointment requests. Then I had an hour or two long video interview that was oral.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a time where you experienced conflict.
The interview felt very natural and not tense at all. I don't recall many of the specific questions but there were definitely none that felt like they were trying to say "gotcha." My interviewer was the Manager of Social Justice Programs and would end up being the one guiding me and the other two interns through the whole internship.

Question 1
(I honestly can't remember the questions but there weren't many, actually the interview mostly consisted of the interviewer explaining the program/position to me)
