Domande di colloquio presso Inter-American Development Bank

First is the classic application with your general characteristics (experience, studies, diplomas), after that, you go to the interview with the senior researchers (3 in my case). Everyone asks a question. just a 30 minute interview. Half in spanish and half in english.

The interview was conducted virtually with multiple interviewers, including HR and technical team members. The process included behavioral questions, motivation questions about why I wanted to work at the organization, and several technical/data-related questions focused on Power BI, SQL, KPI reporting, and prior project experience. The atmosphere was professional but somewhat intense due to the panel-style setting and the number of technical follow-up questions. Some interviewers were very warm and supportive, especially the hiring manager, which helped reduce the pressure. Looking back, I realized the interview tested not only technical knowledge but also communication and storytelling skills. I could have explained my past research projects, including my work with large-scale EMS crash datasets, in a clearer and more structured way. It was a valuable experience that showed me the importance of preparing concise explanations for both technical and behavioral topics.
