I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at UNHCR in Jun 2021
Interview
I applied for the position in March 2021 and was contacted by a recruiter 3 months later to complete an online written test, which was fairly straightforward. After a month, I was informed that the results from the test were not yet out and from then on, I never heard from the recruiter (not even a rejection email). Overall the process was lengthy and no feedback was provided.

Technical questions e.g., how can you design a better programme/ initiative? and situational questions e.g., describe a challenge you overcame when implementing a programme?
