First, there was a written application and resume. The written application was the most important part because every candidate had to give enough proof for each of the criteria listed in the job description. Since there were 15 different criteria in this case, it meant a lot of writing to produce 5 pages of text.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share examples of how you've managed competing priorities effectively in a fast-paced, politically sensitive setting?
