I took first a written test that had three questions. After passing the test I had the typical UN format of the STAR method/competency based. Three protection colleagues interviewed me. They asked a few questions about direct experience and how I would conduct a protection assessment.

Phase 1 was a written test with 10 questions. Included were a several scenario questions testing your knowledge of practical protection interventions you would apply. Phase 2 was an interview panel with 3 colleagues. HR, direct supervisor who is often the Protection officer and another Snr colleague within the office

The UNHCR interview process includes initial screening, competency-based interviews, technical assessments, and situational judgment tests. It evaluates skills, experience, alignment with humanitarian values, adaptability, and commitment to global displacement issues.
