If there is one thing I have learned from all of this, it is that when it comes to internships, the earlier you research and apply, and the more persistent you are, the better. My 3 first-choices fell through because of this lesson.
Luckily, the internship opportunities I am left with are decent but it would have been nice to work somewhere I really wanted.
My first interview was yesterday. It was a phone interview, which I did not like much. I had done some basic background research on the organization (Witness for Peace) but coming out of it I realized you can never do too much background research! It was a double-edge sword because on one hand, the interview was more relaxed because I was in sweat pants in the comfort of my room but on the other hand, it was difficult to fully portray my personality over the phone. I was offered the position later today and told him I would get back to him shortly (and thanked him for his time to interview me).--It's important to thank them after interviews etc...you'll hear that non-stop!
The rest of my interviews are lined up for Wednesday and I will make a final decision, hopefully, by Thursday.
