I applied online and was contacted a few weeks later for a 30 phone interview. The HR representative asked a few routine questions to gauge my fit and interests. Over the phone, she said she would like to schedule an in-person interview for the following week. With a delay due to the inauguration, I had a one hour interview at the Arlington, VA office two weeks later. Chemonics has a VERY structured style of interviewing where the participants have standard questions (mostly situational) and go around in a circle reading the questions from the paper. It felt awkward and unnatural, but if you can think on your feet and try to stay personable in what feels like a robotic situation, you'll be fine. Since the position required modest language abilities, I was asked a question in French and able to reply in English. My final interview was with the overall director of the project. We talked by phone for about 30 minutes. She asked questions about my ability to learn new skills and my language abilities.

Very smooth and chill. First the recruiter contacted me and scheduled an interview via Macrosoft team meeting. It lasted 30 minutes and she asked general question to understand my interest for the position. Next she asked several situational questions to identify my time management capabilities and interpersonal skills. After my interview with the recruiter, she scheduled the interview with 3 hiring team members. That interview lasted one hour. Again general question to understand your personality
