I got the job , thank you for your help
There is technical problem I could not purchase today, please assist
UN always appreciate to get precise and breif answers in a simple language.I do not think ur answers are Good and precise
I tried buying it but it not working, it says that it cannot process the payment at this time.
Thank you Richard for your videos. I have used them many times to improve the quality of my interviews. However, I would like to clarify that in the context of the United Nations, there are no clients or customers. Instead, there are beneficiaries as the organization is a non-profit
Thanks for sharing :)
UN structures considers all those to whom services are provided to be “clients “ and seeks to see things from clients point of view. Thus for administrative staff Client orientation is an important competency
This was great! As working with the UN and have attended a lot of interviews, I suggest to answer all the questions in relating with your experiences. Like you should not reply; I will do bla bla in that situation, but I have done this thing in this approach in my last job or have been doing this in my current job. Try to answer everything by explaining a situation from career experiences.
Thanks for the tips!

These answers aren't useful as the UN expect 5-7 minute answers to competency based questions.
5-7 minute answers? I doubt that to be true! Do you realise how long an answer would be if it was 7 minutes long???
This is clearly stated in training videos provided by the UN to interviewees. Also, workshops provided by ex-interviewers state the same expected length (5-7min) for competency based answers.
Hhhh United USA nation
What do you mean? :)
Very helpful and relatable information. Thank you. I work with the UN, sat an interview for a higher position last week on Friday and some of the situational questions here surfaced in my CBI.

I just had an interview with UNHCR. It went very well. I'm waiting to hear from them. It's frustrating to wait for their feedback especially as they didn't tell me how long it will take 😌
Good luck!
How did it go? I am thinking about applying too. I wish the interviews wouldn't be this hard. I'm not very good with the on the spot stuff :(
How did it go

When's your interview? :)
I really really would like to thank you so much, I've been attending lots of interviews lately and believe me I've gained my confident and answers to the questions from you and every time I have an interview I always come to your channel, VERY VERY HELPFUL! Much appreciated.
Next Thursday I have an interview with the UNHCR for an Admin Assistant role so of course here I am again, and there is this question I've frequently been asked but didn't and still don't know how to answer.
The question follows why did I leave my last job? Now I have an answer for that thanks to you but i've left my job a year ago without finding another one and I've been unemployed since and they ask me (why did you leave without finding a job first?) how should I answer that! To be honest I left because it was a toxic and they have done me wrong a lot and I couldn't take it anymore but of course I know I can't speak badly of my previous employer, what should I do?
This will really help!: ua-cam.com/video/_i9I7Y09t6U/v-deo.html
Best of luck! :)
How was your interview? Successful?

Hello @Benchita!
Please I would like to ask you some question with how your interview went? especially the the questions asked under professionalism and communication.
Thank you.
I have been selected 4 times on different positions for UNICEF, WFP, UNDP & UNIOM
In just my 30s.
I do not think ur answers help anyone to get UN job.
They require to the point answer in a simple language.and take inly 10 to 20 minutes to complete it.and ask you to be precise and give breif answers with example from ur past experience
"I do not think ur answers help anyone to get UN job."
And what do you base that rubbish on?
Looking at your grammar and punctuation, I don't think I believe you :)
A great job done here sir!!
Cleaver😃
Thank you :)
Your answers are to long hence hard to memorize for a real interview.

@@CareerVidz Thank you.
Need help, received einterview questionnaire from UN. Need help to fill it out. As I have only 3 days left and there are 19 questions.
They mostly hire bureaucrats who starve people even more....
Why would you hire psychologists or lawyers to solve logistics ...like clean water or food or electricity or shelter...
That is beyond dumb... lawyers and psychologists only needed in specific situations...you tell a lawyer I'm starving...the lawyer will go... let's see was that a crime...did you offend any animals...said anything to upset any leaders......and which laws apply before he can give you any food..
You tell a psycho I'm starving.. he'll go ..is that all you feel..do you feel angry and resentment...do you have dreams and aspiration...what else is bothering you...do you get enough sleep...do you know what day it is... tomorrow...are you looking forward to tomorrow...will you commit suicide....
Those humanitarians are full of crap...
People need guidance...on the spot solutions... workers who speak their language and know their pain...not some corrupt bureaucrats with no integrity...
😳
There is this requirement I see on almost all UN Jobs
"Have demonstrated keen interest in the work of the United Nations and have a personal commitment to the ideals of the Charter;"
How do you demonstrate this?
Somebody answer
You need to talk about how your values and vision match that of the UN's and the current issues :)
Very good video
