UNHCR interview questions

There was first a written test where you had a long legal text to read (15 pages), with 2 questions to answer about the text (one technical and the other more creative) and finally an interview. Overall, I found the test quite hard as you are under a strict time limit although my overall impressions were very positive and it was a really good experience. I felt like the interview went well, the interviewer was really friendly and made efforts to put me at ease. However, I feel like they needed someone more experienced so I did not get this internship but I will definitely reapply later on after I complete my studies!

interview was largely composed of legal questions related to international laws. The interview panel consisted of 5 persons who posed questions in turn. The interview took place over the phone. Later on during the interview a few questions were asked to describe your skills such as teamwork and productivity, whereby you were requested to provide specific personal examples. One of the main job requirements was language proficiency, thus interviewers tasked me to respond one of the questions in the language required for the operation. In the end of the interview, i was given an opportunity to pose my questions. I thus had asked the panel a few questions regarding the job and office as s whole. Nevertheless the interview panel had not specified any timeline for their recruitment process and the date for the outcome of the interview itself, which in the end took over three months for them to finalize.
