To exemplify WIPO’s interview mechanisms, we have used the WIPO’s internships interview stage below. Note that other opportunities at the WIPO may vary slightly from this in terms of how the interview is conducted.

How is the WIPO Internship Program interview?

Usually, only selected applicants will be contacted for the interview, which lasts about 30 minutes and may be done via Skype or phone.
