I applied online. I interviewed at UNDP in Sep 2018
Interview
First I had a written test, one hour to send back..for that I needed to do some study the day before about the department and what they do and read a paper about it, it helped me a lot to have read this and summarize it because the next day on the written test ( Since you only have one hour and the questions need a lot of reading and information). After I passed this process, I had a skype interview and the process was fine and the question where mostly to see how your personal interest and professional pathway matches the department you are applying for.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at UNDP (Islamabad, Islamabad)
Interview
Very easy, and straightforward. Asked your usual interview questions. Shared stuff about the role. The interviewer and I went to the same university, so there were also university centric questions like what I was studying and courses I was taking.

They made a mistake and gave me the wrong date. The interviewer warned that I would be doing overtime during the weekend. The questions were all generic and to be expected.
2 interviewers (those who would be my supervisors, not HR/recruitment personnel) 4 questions that should be answered in approximately 5 minutes each, then 5 minutes at the end for logistical details and questions, and opportunity to ask questions.
