Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Organization of American States.
Intern
It was a pretty standard interview. They really wanted to know about my research interests and personal experiences. Because OAS staff need to know at least two official languages, the interview could be in Spanish, French, or Portuguese alongside English.
- Could you share an instance of a challenge you faced and how you successfully navigated it?
Intern
After being shortlisted, I only had one interview, which was about a thirty-minute call. During the call, I was asked about my experience, and I also got to ask questions about the position, the organization, and the responsibilities I would have as an intern at the Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy.
- What makes you interested in this role?
Internship
It was a short phone call where they asked about my skills and interests, and why I was applying for the job. They also asked about the languages I speak and my Excel skills, and if I had the financial ability or parental permission to support myself during the unpaid internship in Washington DC.
- Why do you want to work at the OAS?
