It’s 30-mins fit interview with the hiring manager. There was a miscommunication, they didn’t tell me that the interview was through Skype, instead of phone call. From the 30-mins time slot, I was only able to use 15-mins, because the hiring manager had to continue with the other candidate.

Do your research about the program
If you’re reading this, I’m assuming that you found it while looking up dietetic internship interviews on the internet. Good, youre on the right track.
You wouldn’t believe how many students I’ve encountered who went through more than three years of education to become dietitians but weren’t aware that they also needed to complete an internship after graduating.
Dont be that person. Research everything you can as early as possible.
Your research should be concentrated on what to anticipate during each program’s interview. Heres are three ways to get more information:
The goal is to learn as much as you can about what to anticipate, including the questions, the atmosphere, the director, etc.
Don’t be afraid to reach out to current or former interns over the phone or via email; I did so and received some excellent advice.
However, keep in mind that interns typically are not permitted to disclose the questions that were asked (some might, but the majority of programs demand that you keep quiet so that everyone has an equal opportunity).
My experience reaching out to current and former interns
When I had to face a panel of interviewers for my internship, great advice from a previous intern about general interview style came in very handy.
When I answered the phone and was shocked to speak to three interviewers rather than just the director, if I hadn’t asked, my anxiety would have skyrocketed.
However, going in knowing the MO helped to (somewhat) calm my nerves.
