Behavioral

Applied for a role but didn't hear back for over 3 months. Was asked to attend an assessment center last minute, which I couldn't do, so I had a casual chat with the hiring manager instead. They told me they weren't moving forward with my application because other candidates had more experience, which is understandable. However, they then hired an internal candidate who lacked any experience in the field. I've heard GIZ is currently only hiring internally, so I'd advise against wasting your time.

Behavioral Case

The interviewer and manager were really nice and easy to talk to, which made things feel pretty chill. They mainly asked about my past experience that's relevant to this job and why I'm interested in it. There was also a pretty in-depth case study where I had to figure out how to prepare a workshop.
