I interviewed at European Court of Human Rights in Jul 2016
Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at European Court of Human Rights in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview, taking place in late 2020, was conducted online and lasted around one hour. Most questions were modelled after the STAR method. Others were related to some legal controversies that were being raised in my country at the time. All in all the interview felt demanding but fair.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
STAR questions such as: "describe your recent success you had while working as a part of a team".
The interview committee includes three persons: Two from Human Resources and one is a senior lawyer. It takes nearly 30-45 minutes. Most of the questions are competency based interview questions and they want from you to give examples from professional experiences. But they also ask questions about the Court's case law.
