I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in Jul 2019
Interview
I saw the internship job posting on linkedin and applied directly on their career website called inspira. The application itself takes a while because you have to fill in your resume, supervisor information(name time, email, address), past company information(name, industry, address etc) but the results are worth it. I received a response via email from a team member about two weeks after my application submission, for a phone interview invitation. The phone interview was the only round of interview that I had to complete with no assessment/tests involved. I spoke with 2 members on the phone for about 20 minutes, they were very friendly and easy-going.
