      Program Specialist Interview

      17 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at UNICEF

      Interview

      This position is under the UNV program. The process took total of a bit over 1 month. 2 weeks or so after my submission of application, I received an invitation to take a writing test (3 hrs). Writing test was pretty hard, a combination of all skills (program development, mngmt, budget planning/fundraising/investment case). About a month later, an interview (1.5 hrs) with 4 people (chief of program, program specialist, director of UNV in Vietnam, and an HR officer). A mix of technical and competence-based questions, very straightforward questions on the post and on past experience. A challenging but a pleasant experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why this post, why this program? Technical questions that align with the post (for e.g. For this post on maternal health, infant care, informatic skills,...) Past experience that shows working in group, that shows a lesson learned, that creates a model to base other experiences on)
