I applied online. I interviewed at International Trade Centre in Oct 2025
Interview
Had an interview with the HR manager and two senior members of the team. Was a conventional UN style competency interview covering key qualities like communication, teamwork, etc. You provide your experience and how you practiced that specific quality in your situation. The team members asked quite a lot of following questions.

Good experience, they asked some general questions about my academic projects and some software skills. They also explained their team and their expectations for this post. People seem nice but the whole hiring process was rather long.
I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at International Trade Centre (Geneva) in May 2023
