I applied online. I interviewed at UNHCR (Pretoria, ) in Aug 2022
Interview
The interview process consisted of written assessments and a virtual interview. The assessment was a case study that tested how I would react in a situation. They completed a reference check through a written form. They then asked me to request my academic transcript from the University. After all that they kept quiet and did not give any further feedback.
Could you please clarify what exactly you would like me to improve? Are you preparing a formal report, an informal summary, or perhaps another type of document? Do you speak additional languages?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you explain the difficult situation you handled?
I received a written test. They gave me 90 minutes. There were two main questions and following questions. It wasn't so hard. But the time is limitted. So you must already know the answers. The main porpuse is to measure your field experience. The questions are not related code of conducts rules. I have not received an invitation for competency-based interview yet, but I think I'll.

Question 1
It was a case study about national and international law. They gave me a vis-à-vis and they asked "which international protection status does fit it?"
Friendly and kind atmosphere. We were given an hour to answer the questions: 1. Protection - a description of the process in your own words + UNHCR's role 2. Case study (Organization of protection-related activities)
