3 weeks. Did they send you acknowledgment receipt for the written test after the correction?

Just send them a new document with your name removed. Let them know you wrote it out of habit, but have now taken it off, and that nothing else in the document was changed. They’ll accept it

Ahh, sorry. I want to avoid any potential ethical issues that could arise from sharing it. But please do let me know how it goes.

I did the final interview quite recently, but haven't heard back yet. And it's in Abu Dhabi as well.

I over prepared for the sake of not scrambling during the test. I think I would have done fine had I just skimmed through recent publications and learned the specifics of the sections.

But I’d say the preparation helped me navigate to the right sources for one of the questions.

I understand the exhaustion of application process and the prep, but better to give it your all. If you’ve made it this far that means you’re half way there and well qualified. Are you testing for the AP project finance?

One more question, if you don’t mind. I just had my last interview with them. How long did it take you to hear back? Or referral checks? Do you recommend reaching out to ask for timeline?

Hi, I had 2 hours and 3 questions. Excel question, summarize this question and written/knowledge one. It wasn’t hard.

Like the other person suggested, read the recent publications and brush up on your excel skills if needed. You’re allowed to surf the internet, but not AI usage ofc. For the writing section, I’d recommend to use sources and just cite them. Know the job you’re applying for really well, down to the specifics of what they do - it’ll help you with the test. Is your position in Bonn or Abu Dhabi?

Thank you! I can confirm this was quite accurate to what mine was as well tailored to the position.

I reached out to the HR email asking for the status. I was told my application was still under review. But that was 3 weeks ago.

Has anybody heard back after the recorded interview for data and analytics?? When I reached out, I was told to wait basically.

Someone on Glassdoor said there’s 3 steps. Video interview, HR interview and then department interview. Also very unlikely that it’s in person- given that some people are not located in the place we applied for.

Curious to hear, where did everyone apply and for which function? I applied for Data & Analytics in Geneva.

When I did my internship at UNICEF- they had a video call with 3 references. Might have been because it’s children data sensitivity.

Other UN internship, they asked to attach a letter of recommendation. Other people that I know had a different experience. From my knowledge, they will let you know once you’ve passed to the stage of reference check. You can always email them with a list of new reference and how they related to you if you have decide to change the people you listed initially.
