      Strategic Adviser to the Resident Coordinator Interview

      Oct 24, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Baghdad
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at United Nations (Baghdad)

      Interview

      The job was advertised internationally. A written application was required that involved completing a proforma CV (called a P11). All applicants are reviewed by a central part of the UN and a long list is provided to the hiring manager to shortlist. The hiring manger convenes an interview panel and interviews those on the short list. I did a phone interview that lasted for an hour. The entire process took about 3 months.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      No really difficult questions. It is a competency based interview where you are asked to indicate relevant experience to the competency being assessed and occasional 'how would you handle the following situation' type questions. Reviewing the competencies and having specific examples prepared that highlight your capabilities against that competency will make the interview very easy to manage. Being able to comment on the context you will be working in will also help.
