SECOND INTERVIEW We will then pass along qualified candidates to the hiring manager for a second-round phone interview. 6. FACE to FACE We will select several top candidates to bring in for face-to-face interviews. At that point we will make a decision. Our process typically takes about 120 days but of course varies depending on the role and candidate pool., Full-time interns and fellows work 32-hour weeks (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with an hour for lunch) and are given Friday off. Because HOPE interns and fellows work a shortened week, there may be opportunities for them to seek weekend employment to help cover expenses. Work schedules vary for interns and fellows based overseas. Internships with HOPE should span a minimum of 10 weeks and can be extended up to a total of nine months per the acceptance of the supervisor. Fellowships are typically 6- to 12-month positions., After you enter your resume and cover letter into our applicant tracking system, you will receive an email indicating that we have received your materials.

Applicant FAQs What is the difference between an internship and a fellowship? Internships are semester-based positions for undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines. Fellowships are 6-12 month positions for recent college graduates, experienced graduate students, or business professionals. What if I'm interested in multiple positions? You are welcome to submit your application for any roles you are interested in. There will also be the opportunity to share in your interviews which roles you would be willing to consider and which would be your top preference. However, the job postings will have closed before interviews begin, so we would encourage you to save the role descriptions for the opportunities you would be interested in learning more about. What is the support-raising process like for interns and fellows who choose to fundraise? In the past, some have chosen to raise support for their internships or fellowships. If you choose to do this, HOPE may share resources such as sample fundraising letters to help you in this process. Are there any opportunities for interns and fellows to become staff members? Yes, quite a few HOPE staff members first came to HOPE through an internship or fellowship! However, a job is not guaranteed as a result of your internship or fellowship. What does the average day look like for a HOPE intern or fellow? There is no typical day! Some interns will work primarily from an office setting while others may have opportunities to travel into the field. Interns and fellows who work from our office in Lancaster, PA may have opportunities to connect with teammates in person over lunch, a game of ping-pong, or joining team meetings like staff prayer. Interns and fellows who work remotely have opportunities to connect with teammates and other interns virtually though scheduled meetings like book studies, connect times, leadership sessions, and more! What is HOPE looking for in candidates? HOPE looks first for candidates who exhibit an active and vibrant relationship with Christ and demonstrate commitment to serving families who have been marginalized. An ideal candidate has experience leading others, whether on campus, in their church, or in the community as well as a desire to serve. An ideal candidate also has excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as international experience, specifically in the developing world. Finally, an ideal candidate is a lifelong learner-someone who gets excited by continually learning new things and is actively pursuing knowledge. Why do you require that students complete their sophomore year in order to be eligible? HOPE International's internship and fellowship program is a competitive one, and we anticipate large applicant pools each year. Interns and fellows who have completed more semesters of college tend to contribute more professionalism, maturity, independence, and confidence in the workplace. Also, they have received more relevant coursework in their major, better preparing them for their specific work here. What is housing like if I want to relocate to Lancaster, PA? We work to help provide interns and fellows with low-cost housing options. For example, occasionally staff members or supporters of HOPE will open their homes to host interns and fellows. Sometimes interns and fellows may stay over the summer on a local college campus, or some interns may choose to pay a higher rent to live in a preferred area or with their friends. Accommodations for interns and fellows will vary according to several factors such as time of year, funding, availability of host homes, and transportation needs, but it is ultimately up to the intern or fellow to determine the option that works best for them. Do you consider non-business majors? Absolutely! Each of our internship and fellowship openings are unique and favor different areas of expertise. At HOPE, we believe it's important to evaluate a candidate as a whole. We want an individual with the heart of a missionary, the mind of a businessperson, and the soul of a development worker. We have had interns and fellows with majors in English, social work, economics, international studies, foreign languages, and many more ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Beyond Gut Feelings: The Rise of Data-Driven HR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1326-beyond-gut-feelings-the-rise-of-data-driven-hr) - [Scrape, Train, Predict: The Lifecycle of Data for AI Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1652-scrape-train-predict-the-lifecycle-of-data-for-ai-applications) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [HR & Tech: Why can't we be friends?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1493-hr-tech-why-can-t-we-be-friends) - [Psychological Safety in Software Engineering - Jenny-Margrethe Vej & Alexandra Hou Aldershaab](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2142-psychological-safety-in-software-engineering-jenny-margrethe-vej-alexandra-hou-aldershaab) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Starter Kit For Job Applications For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/7-starter-kit-for-job-applications-for-developers)
