I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Peace Corps in Jun 2016
Interview
The interview process was virtual via Skype. It lasted no more than an hour. I found plenty of information online to prepare myself for possible questions. The interviewer was a recent returned volunteer working for HQ. It was more like a conversation. We discussed my past experience, how I handled challenging situations, if I ever encountered cross-cultural misunderstandings and how I handled them, and then I had time to ask about the interviewer's experience in service.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
