I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UNOPS in July 2016
Interview
Straight forward, but can be a lengthy process.
Applied online through UN website, waited about 1 month or so, before asked to interview on phone with panel. That was fine, with standard competency questions based on the role. Then waited 1-2 months before hearing anything again.
I assume they get a lot of applications and as such a large organisation, it appears to be slow. Still, I would be keen to apply again for the right role.
Competency based interview
