Interview

Round 1: Resume and cover letter
Round 2 (had two separate 30-45minute interviews): In person interview with department and then HR. The HR interview was fairly generic with mostly behavioural questions. The department interview was more conversational than I expected with back and forth questions about my experience and how that fit into UNICEF's work.

Interview

The interview process is a bit of a front. They're required to make it look like they're publicly advertising for a post and reviewing multiple candidates, even if they already have one person in mind. I was referred into the consultancy, but still had to go through the interview process, which was sending in standard materials to the potential employer, and then having a panel interview over Skype. Fairly easy interview because, again, it was a formality. Be cautious when applying to UNICEF posts, because they may or may not be actively looking for new applicants.
