World Food Programme Executive Assistant Interview Questions
& Process

I applied for an administrative job at WFP's DC office on Friday and they reached out the following Monday. Although the job is in DC, the interview was in NYC, so they paid for travel which I had to ask for two months later. There were three people in the room, but two just took notes. The interviewer didn't ask my name and went straight into personality test-like questions, repeating and rephrasing them. I got annoyed after about a dozen. Be ready for annoying behavioral questions. She used a 1-5 grading scale and marked it after each answer without me seeing it. I never heard back after the interview, and my thank you note was ignored. The job was posted again two months later.

It was an informal and straightforward interview. No tricky questions were asked. The interview was face to face in the office and lasted about 30 minutes. The hiring process was straightforward and swift. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The interview process was good. I felt prepared. There were four people on the panel. They started with introductions, then asked about my motivations, and then technical questions about my experience with organizing events and workshops.
