What previous administrative experience did I have? What made me choose HRW as opposed to another NGO? Was I aware of the administrative nature of the position? What experience did I have with financial tracking and expenditure? What did I believe I could contribute to the position?

Interview
I submitted an unsolicited application and received an email after about two weeks with an invitation for a phone call. I confirmed and then had a 30-min interview with my later supervisor. It was a nice and friendly talk; I wasn't asked difficult questions, it was rather an exchange of ideas and the supervisor mostly talked about what the internship would look like.
