Called for competency based written exam. There were a number of questions and subsections to the questions. It was challenging - mainly on timing. Make sure to read and digest the series of questions, and allocate times before starting.

I applied for the job in June and was invited to complete an online test in September to answer three theory-related questions in one hour. The design of the online test platform was not user-friendly - it was very difficult to type into the tiny box and the time allocated was not really long enough to answer in any depth. I was invited for a Skype interview in November. There were technical problems at the UN in New York and the interview had to be postponed until later that day; a telephone interview was conducted instead. I found this much harder as I could not see the three people on the panel and as a result, I felt I did not answer the questions as well as a could. There were three people on the panel and they were pleasant and I felt fairly relaxed. Two months later, I received an email to say congratulations I didn't get the job but had been placed on the roster. One year later, I have not heard anything about any potential jobs.

45 minutes by phone in front of four seniors staff. The questions will be around the job description and core areas of united nations. They will give you a situation related with the job and they will ask the concrete questions.
