I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at UNDP (Geneva) in Oct 2022
Interview
They used the traditional UN questions for inquiring about your competencies and how your experience relates to the TORs. It lasted around half and hour, they asked me about 5 questions.

Question 1
How does your work experience align with the TOR? Was there any particular situation in which you had to comply with a strict deadline? Mention one obstacle you faced and how you overcame it How do this job line up with your professional expectations
They made a mistake and gave me the wrong date. The interviewer warned that I would be doing overtime during the weekend. The questions were all generic and to be expected.
2 interviewers (those who would be my supervisors, not HR/recruitment personnel) 4 questions that should be answered in approximately 5 minutes each, then 5 minutes at the end for logistical details and questions, and opportunity to ask questions.
