      Financial Economist Interview

      Oct 15, 2017
      Anonymous employee

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      The hiring process for ESCAP is one of the most drawn out process and may take from 18-24 months from initial application till short-listed candidates are contacted for a computer-based skills assessment test and subsequent panel interview session. The interview was conducted via Skype rather than in person. Questions posed varied from technical questions to behaviour-based personality type questions. Panel would tend to consist of the director, direct hiring manager and a HR personnel. The interviewers seem somewhat disengaged and in my interview the similar questions were posed from two different interviewers. Once you get through the interview process, be prepared to be bombarded with a very long laundry list of background checks to be completed including all academic and past employee verification.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      This would be more specific to the interviewer here, but I was asked to opine on the governance structure between the UN and another multilateral organisation that I was previously employed with.
