Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I wonder if you have good networking around Asia Pacific? Have you ever design or collaborate in communications for international organization?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY)
Interview
If there is a short-term consultancy open and they need quick support, that's your best bet for getting hired. It's especially helpful if you're referred by someone internally, because short-term consultancies don't necessarily get posted on the organization's website or other hiring sites. This is also a way to bypass the typical JPO process and get a foot in the door if you're under 32.
