First they call you for an interview with Research Manager and Human Resources Officer. It will be an ordinary job interview, where they ask you about your past jobs and your experience, and the area of expertise. Secondly, you have to make a test on your research abilities.

Interview
Straightforward. Delves into the applicant's experience drawing on specific aspects to see if they are a good fit. The interview lasts around 45 minutes. It includes a language test if any language is required. The test is basically just a casual conversation in said language with the interviewer to gauge proficiency.

Interview
First I had to do a trial of coding some data. They gave me some news stories from past years, a coding/methodology guide, and a spreadsheet template. After I completed that, I had an interview. It was a relatively simple interview. I heard back quickly.

Interview
It consisted of a work exercise followed by an interview with two panelists—a manager and an assistant manager. Unfortunately, I felt very uncomfortable during the interview, as the manager lacked professionalism and would visibly react with rolling her eyes whenever I couldn't answer a question or didn't have the right information she was seeking.

Inquired about my research experience, explored my biases, and sought information on my knowledge about the country, and so forth.
