Shortlisted candidates are invited for an interview, which is often virtual (via platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams). The invitation includes details about the interview format and any preparation required.
The interview itself is usually competency-based. UN interviews follow a Behavioral Event Interview approach, where candidates are asked to describe past experiences that demonstrate key competencies relevant to the internship.
The panel usually consists of 2-3 interviewers.
Questions may include scenarios on UN core values like integrity, professionalism, and respect for diversity.
The interview may last between 20- 30 minutes.
