I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Auswärtiges Amt (The Hague) in Nov 2024
Interview
It was an informal interview where my supervisor represented the department I would work at and the tasks that come with it. Then I was asked about my current studies, my availabilities, and my skills set in terms of social media.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why I am Interested, What questions I have about this specific department I would be stationed.
Short and quick process. Very formal format, online only interview with a few rules in the beginning, no questions allowed to the questions you were asked. It was not possible to see the face of the interviewers during the interview only from far away.

Question 1
They asked about many situations to know how I would solve them. One question was: A colleague helps you and gives you an introduction to the company on your first day. This colleague also starts to speak negatively about the managers and about the company. How do you react
I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Auswärtiges Amt (Berlin)
Interview
The entire process took roundabout a year. I was invited to attend a written exam which now is done online. I had to come from abroad back then. I was entitled to receive compensation for my trip, but they make every interaction unnecessarily bureaucratic. The interview rounds themselves felt good.
