I applied online. I interviewed at United Nations (New Delhi) in Feb 2017
Interview
There were 3 rounds to the interview, first was a Skype interview, followed by a written test and then final face to face discussion. The interview was above average difficulty. The Skype interview was taken by a panel that asked varied questions mostly from your resume. They also tried to analyse in detail how you would react or what you would do in hypothetical scenario.

The recruitment process of the United Nations (UN) involves multiple stages to select the most suitable candidates for their varied roles. Here's a general outline of the process as of my knowledge : Job Posting: Vacancies are posted on the UN's career portal, careers.un.org, and are open for a certain period during which candidates can apply. These postings detail the duties, competencies, and qualifications required for the role. Application: Interested candidates must complete an online application, including a Personal History Profile (PHP), which details their work
