Required a lot of networking and a friend who worked there referred me. I got an email asking for a phone interview. The phone interview was short and not difficult, just basic information about the internship.

I applied online with no inside contacts and no network connections--in retrospect, I should have reached out to my university's alumni network before or after submitting my application to try and get a leg up on the process. I got an email from a department admin, who received my info from HR, about 3 weeks later asking me for a phone or in person interview. I was able to an in-person interview, roughly a month after my initial online application. The interview was very informal and easy. i was interviewed by two young admins in one of Christie's art departments. They asked why I wanted to work at Christie's, about my previous experience working with art, and my language skills.
