United Nations Interview Coaching – Master Competency-Based Interviews for International Roles

Securing a role with the United Nations is highly competitive, requiring not only expertise in your field but also the ability to excel in the UN’s unique competency-based interview process. At Job Interviewology, we provide specialist UN interview coaching to help you confidently navigate panel, structured, and video interviews, whether you’re applying to the UN Secretariat, a specialised agency, or a global partner organisation.

Why United Nations Interviews Are Different

The UN’s recruitment process is built around its Core Values: Integrity, Professionalism, and Respect for Diversity, and Core Competencies such as Communication, Teamwork, and Accountability. This is combined with role-specific functional competencies that vary between posts. Our coaching is tailored to help you demonstrate these qualities through well-structured, impactful answers that align with the UN’s selection criteria.
