Candidatura
Ho presentato la mia candidatura di persona. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso UNHCR (Kuala Lumpur)
Colloquio
Too long, too many paperwork, too meticulous - started with an interview with a panel from 2 departments, then immediately proceeded to a written 60 mins test on how to write a report to determine whether an applicant should be recognised as a refugee or not. No time to read, collect your thoughts or ask questions. Was just thrown into a pool of documents & expected to come out with a report
I took first a written test that had three questions. After passing the test I had the typical UN format of the STAR method/competency based. Three protection colleagues interviewed me. They asked a few questions about direct experience and how I would conduct a protection assessment.
Phase 1 was a written test with 10 questions. Included were a several scenario questions testing your knowledge of practical protection interventions you would apply.
Phase 2 was an interview panel with 3 colleagues. HR, direct supervisor who is often the Protection officer and another Snr colleague within the office

Domanda 1
If you had an asylum seeker call your work assigned cell phone asking for assistance, as they have been pushed back by border agents and not allowed to seek asylum. Based on the law, state the phases of your protection intervention.
