Difficult Interview
Application

I interviewed at International Rescue Committee (Brussels)

Interview

Complicated interview that requires a holistic knowledge of asylum and migration. Pretty demanding for a traineeship based on the fact that you're already completed a written test. Written test was easy and a bit abstract. In the interview panel it was 3 people and it was very formal. They responded declining the offer months later when they said they would in a week.

Disappointing that IRC has no ability to communicate after 2 interviews with status as a candidate for the position, and that follow-up/thank you emails were ignored. Relieved to see true colors before becoming an employee.
