The UN Interview: Your Final Gateway to Selection

The UN Interview is a decisive and final stage in the job selection process. Once you’ve cleared the application screening and assessment exercise, the interview is your last and best chance to convince the panel you’re the right person for the job.

1. Final Step Before Selection

The interview is usually conducted for the top 3–6 candidates.
It’s often the only live interaction the hiring panel has with you.
Your performance here often determines the final ranking.

2. Assesses UN Core Competencies

Example question:
“Tell us about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline while working in a multicultural team. What was the situation, and what did you do?”

3. Gauges Fit for Role and Culture

The interview tests if you’re a good fit for the UN’s values and work culture.
The panel observes:
- Your behavior under pressure
- Cultural sensitivity
- Emotional intelligence

4. Clarifies & Confirms Your Profile

Interviewers may ask about gaps, past roles, or key projects from your application.
This helps verify the authenticity and depth of your experience.

5. May Be the Tie-Breaker

If assessment scores are close, interview performance tips the scale.
Only one is selected—others may be rostered for future opportunities.
