United Nations Competency-based Interview Questions
Will this guide help me during an interview?
Yes, we believe it will. The guide includes actual sample questions commonly asked during interviews within each competency. Many of our users have expressed their gratitude, noting that they were asked these exact questions and succeeded in their interviews because they were well-prepared.
Of course, there are no given answers, as the questions will largely pertain to your background and work experience. This makes it impossible to develop common or general answers. However, one important recommendation is to avoid using two examples from the same job experience, even if they are relevant. It’s perfectly acceptable to use examples from university, internships, or other projects you have participated in.
Remember to eliminate any negative indicators from your answers. Good luck with your interviews! If you find this guide helpful, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with your friends and colleagues.
