Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UNOPS.
Analyst
Had an initial chat with potential managers. They asked some basic questions to check my skills for a role that doesn't need much experience. It was a virtual interview and felt like a standard difficulty for this kind of job.
- What makes you want this job?
Project Analyst
The interview was calm, everyone was very polite and friendly. It was based on the STAR method and conducted online. I got feedback after a long time, but at least they got back to me. After a while, they also called me for another job opportunity, I guess because I was on the bench. I found the interview a bit unprofessional, the manager seemed impatient to finish, and the other assistant seemed afraid of her, so she didn't say anything. And to this day, I haven't received a response. I think it depends on the project and the role. I think it depends on the project and the role.
- Tell me about a project where you made a mistake and what you learned from it.
Analyst
It was about 45 minutes long and had about four different questions, which were competency-based. There was only one vacancy-related question, specifically why I want to work on this particular project.
- What is your motivation for joining this project?
- Describe a situation where you led a project. Detail your actions, methodology, outcomes, and any potential improvements.
- Recount an instance where you simplified a complex topic for a non-expert. Explain your approach, the techniques you employed, and the recipient's response.
