I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at United Nations in Sep 2015
Interview
Got the email asking if I was still interested in that position in a month after online application. But I hadn't hear anything from the recruiting staff for almost another month until I sent her many emails reiterating my interest and eagerness to get that internship. Finally got the email asking for interview after back-and-forth communication. It's phone interview that lasted for around 20 min.
