      Average Interview
      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at UNDP (New York, NY)

      Interview

      There were two rounds of interviews. The first was more comprehensive and solely with my potential supervisor. The second was shorter, more personal, and also featured the supervisor's boss. Both employees were friendly and eager for me to share my previous work experience.
      Interview

      Tell me about a time you had to problem-solve in order to achieve a goal.
