This is the official discussion thread for the 2018 Fall white house internship. Has anyone heard anything yet?
I haven’t yet… anyone gotten an interview?
I submitted a couple days after it opened and have yet to get any response.
Applied a week before the app closed. Have not heard anything and is my second time applying.
Do you mind sharing If you received an interview last time? And if so, was it very close to the deadline?
I did receive an interview last time! I was interviewed roughly 1 full month before decisions came out.
I found out that I got an interview two days ago! My interview will be on next Wednesday
That’s awesome, best of luck. do you mind sharing the department or if it was one your preferenced?
Wow how exciting! Share the details!
Thank you! I’d rather not say which department, but it was one that I initially applied for
Has anyone else heard anything? I know not every department interviews!
Hello everyone! I was just contacted this morning. I have an interview scheduled for Monday
Just received notification via email from a White House Staffer of a phone interview tommorow!
I got a phone interview tomorrow with the Office of the Vice President! I’m so excited, wishing everyone the best on their interviews!
Was it your number one choice? Congrats I hope it goes well
It actually wasn’t on my top 5
Did it at least go well? What did they ask?
Yes it went well. It was pretty informal and more like a conversation rather than an interview. He asked about why I wanted to do the internship, how it will help me, what are some of issues that I stand behind. How was yours?
Pretty good. Mine was pretty informal as well it was a “get to know you” conversation. So a bunch of tell me about yourself and some situational stuff that you would face in that department.
@Katie131 Did they tell you anything about like the timeline of when you will be hearing? And if they have a specific department within the OVP they were interviewing you for? I know there are multiple. Congrats on the interview, that is great!
