Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UN Women.
Analyst
The interview was competency-based and I felt it went well. I was satisfied with my performance. However, the following day, I received a rejection email. It seems unlikely that such an extensive review could be conducted in just one day. I suspect that the position may have already been filled.

Programme Analyst
The entire thing usually takes around 3 months to finish (it really just depends on how fast the agency's HR is). There are two main phases: First, you get invited to do a written test which has technical questions. Second, if you pass that, you're invited to a panel interview where they ask competency-based questions.
- Can you share an instance where you used an innovative strategy in the office to resolve a problem?
- What is the relationship between gender stereotypes and gender inequalities?
Policy Analyst
It was a competency-based interview using the CAR (Challenge, Action, Response) format. There were three interviewers and three questions. It was just one interview conducted over the internet. They also had a pretty comprehensive questionnaire on the online application. These were the main parts of the process.
- Can you describe a time you faced a difficult situation while working in a team?
