Interviewing interns is similar to interviewing other full-time candidates but you should take into
consideration that most of their experience may be from school or part-time jobs. Therefore, ask
questions that get the candidate talking about their goals, leadership and organizational skills.
Also consider your company culture and whether or not they would add value to your team should
you hire them full-time after the internship.
