Greetings,
I applied for an unpaid internship at a police department. With the goal of an internship being to learn more about what you are applying to, I worried more about specific questions such as, "What is your greatest weakness" and, "What are your strengths", completely forgetting about a key one and therefore being unprepared.
Anyway, I made the most elementary mistake: I did not research the department I was applying to. The very first question was, "What do you know about this police department?" I stumbled and could only say, "I don't know."
He then said, "Well, then why do you want to work here?" I told him about how I wanted to do it for the learning experience and how I planned to work for the department in the future.
Everything else in the interview went smoothly (for the most part). He said about half of the applicants will be getting the position.
What do you all think? Is there something specific I should do or should I just suffer and wait?
