It was a two-part interview that lasted 3 hours total. The first two hours were spent on a written test. After a 15-minute break, there was a 45-minute oral interview with three panelists. The whole thing was done online. The oral part involved going over the written test and some questions about my abilities.

Behavioral Presentation
I had one interview, it was a three-person panel interview. I was contacted and interviewed all within a week. I heard back about the interview after 3 weeks. The questions were very precise and to the point especially for the position I was seeking, hard to prepare for in my opinion. The interview itself was quite agreeable, the panel was friendly.

After reviewing all applications, we might give shortlisted candidates a written test. If you pass that (if it's part of the process), we'll invite you for an online chat where we'll talk about your knowledge in the technical area and humanitarian emergency programming. We'll also ask about personal stuff, like why you want to be on our roster. Sometimes, we do language checks during the interview too. It's a tough process to make sure we get the best people with the right skills and professionalism. Less than 20% of applicants make it to the roster. We always aim for the highest ethical and professional standards, in line with DRC's values and Code of Conduct, including protecting against exploitation, abuse, and harassment.
