Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UNODC.
Intern
The interview is a 30-minute competency-based chat to see if you have teamwork, accountability, and organizational skills. There are usually two or more interviewers who are nice and make you feel comfortable. They ask questions to dig into your experiences and how you've handled situations.
- Tell me about your experiences and how you've responded to situations related to teamwork, accountability, and organizational skills.
Intern
After applying through Inspira, they contacted me by email to schedule a video call interview. Two interviewers from the team I would be working with. They were punctual and friendly. Most of the questions were in Spanish, and at the end, a few were in English to check my level.
- Can you tell us a little about yourself?
- What interests you about doing an internship at the United Nations?
- Can you give an example of a time you worked in a team to solve problems?
Administrative Intern
The first stage had a really nice panel, it felt interactive and light, but still professional. They were polite and clarified things when needed. The written test, though, was tough with way too many questions for the time given.
- Tell me about a time you had to handle a specific situation.
- Describe past experiences dealing with challenging situations.
- What's your understanding of administrative work?
