I applied online. I interviewed at United Nations in Dec 2021
Interview
I received an email asking if I was still interested in the job and I said yes. Interviewed with three people and they asked me general questions about my qualifications. The interview was not super structured and informal. I got the internship. Come prepared to discuss why you are uniquely qualified and "deserve" the internship. Think about what your niche is before the interview and what sets you apart.

What is your experience with databases and data analysis?
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
Long, bureaucratic and has multiple layers. It is plagued by box checking and is specific to the required quotas per country. It is VERY difficult to get called back, unfortunately.
