1. Initial application - very standard, not unreasonable (esp. as very similar to anything else one might be applying for) 2. Testing - both the problem-solving and the language-based questions felt a lot less arbitrary than similar tests for other applications, like the law firm/other ministry ones my classmates were applying for, which I appreciated 3. Video interview - this was the worst part of the process for me; it's nerve-wracking without having someone to steer you in the right direction and there's more of an element of luck in how you prepare 4. Zoom interview - really nice for a zoom interview! The interviewers were lovely and empathetic to nerves.
