Interview
At first, CV was submitted through email. After 2 weeks, I got a call. It was a phone interview. I was asked about my work experience. After that, they informed for a group interview. The group interview was average. The interviewer did not seem very qualified. He was just asking about what UNHCR works, how they help people etc. other than skills and experience.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at UNHCR (Kuala Lumpur)
Interview
Too long, too many paperwork, too meticulous - started with an interview with a panel from 2 departments, then immediately proceeded to a written 60 mins test on how to write a report to determine whether an applicant should be recognised as a refugee or not. No time to read, collect your thoughts or ask questions. Was just thrown into a pool of documents & expected to come out with a report
