First, I had a written exam that included one general question and a second question that required me to summarize a webpage. I was given one hour to complete and submit the exam. They never got back to me after that.

Got an email to set up an interview with the team. After the interview, I did a job-related test. Then I made a video explaining the ICRC and their work. A week later, I heard back about their decision.
- How would you help your headquarters colleagues understand the work of field colleagues?

The interview was online and lasted about 45 minutes. I had a panel of 3 people who work there now, and they each asked questions. They were really nice and let me take my time to think and explain my answers.
- Can you tell me about international humanitarian law (IHL)?
- How does IHL connect with the ICRC?
- Could you explain the difference between IHL and international human rights law?
