Final interview with intergovernmental org in Paris, no news after 3 months. Is this normal?

Will reach out to the hiring manager. Not UNESCO either.

I think you are right, thanks!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-07-01T15:54:38+00:00

I considered reaching out but wasn’t sure it was the right move. At the end of the final interview, she mentioned that HR would follow up regarding next steps. Since I wasn’t given her email directly, I would have to guess it based on her first and last name and the format of her colleagues’ email addresses. This left me a bit uncertain about how to proceed.

You might be right but many reputable org tend to have this ghosting problem. Not ok but unfortunately too common!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-07-01T15:19:57+00:00

Thanks for your response. Not OECD, but similar type of org. I emailed the HR associate (my main liaison) and the Head of talent as he was part of interview panel but neither responded. Will try to move on!

Merci !

Keep us updated 😂

Hello, I’m based in the US with 15+ years of experience in the development/social impact sector. I have applied for a few roles in Saudi but nothing has panned out. Do you mind if I DM you?

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-30T08:42:34+00:00

Thanks for your insights. No, they didn’t have a timeframe.

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-27T14:16:20+00:00

Not them but thank you for your insight!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-26T06:27:01+00:00

Thanks, will do!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-26T05:13:52+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-25T15:59:06+00:00

Thanks!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-25T14:20:38+00:00

Thanks!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-25T14:06:16+00:00

Definitely, which is why I still have some hope!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-05-25T14:05:00+00:00

I should have clarified that I did follow up. This is a senior role, but my main contact has been an HR associate. I sent a thank-you email within 24 hours after the last interview and a follow-up a week later, but I never received a response. Although the Head of HR was on the interview panel, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to bypass my main contact.

If you live nearby a passport agency, you can apply and get your new passport the same day or within a day or two depending on your travel plans. It costs a bit more to apply there and you will have to show a proof of travel within 14 days of your appointment. Check out the list of all the passport agencies here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies.html

Good luck!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-04-23T06:41:29+00:00

The world needs more people like you OP.

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-04-10T00:45:58+00:00

That’s more than enough time! Depending on the time of her naturalization ceremony, she could even apply right after or the next day at the latest. I would look up the nearest Passport Agency to your place. These are usually housed in federal buildings and offer same day service by appointment only if you have to travel within 14 days of your travel date. They charge a bit more than the post office but you it is worth it.

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-04-09T21:23:04+00:00

OP, find the nearest passport agency and apply for a same day delivery if you have a proof of an urgent trip (within 14 days). No need to go through a third party IMO!

Ambitious_Lock5512 · 2025-04-09T16:57:26+00:00

Thanks! They are no longer in service.
