I got the job , thank you for your help
There is technical problem I could not purchase today, please assist
UN always appreciate to get precise and breif answers in a simple language.I do not think ur answers are Good and precise
I tried buying it but it not working, it says that it cannot process the payment at this time.
This was great! As working with the UN and have attended a lot of interviews, I suggest to answer all the questions in relating with your experiences. Like you should not reply; I will do bla bla in that situation, but I have done this thing in this approach in my last job or have been doing this in my current job. Try to answer everything by explaining a situation from career experiences.
Thanks for the tips!

Thanks a million, this is a gold mine because I have been tongue tied several times and not answered interview questions well before but now I know.
THANKS
Thank you Richard for your videos. I have used them many times to improve the quality of my interviews. However, I would like to clarify that in the context of the United Nations, there are no clients or customers. Instead, there are beneficiaries as the organization is a non-profit
Thanks for sharing :)
UN structures considers all those to whom services are provided to be “clients “ and seeks to see things from clients point of view. Thus for administrative staff Client orientation is an important competency
I loved your enthusiasm and they way you approach this. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
You're welcome! :)

Fantastic news! Thanks so much for sharing this! 😄
I just had an interview with UNHCR. It went very well. I'm waiting to hear from them. It's frustrating to wait for their feedback especially as they didn't tell me how long it will take 😌
Good luck!
How did it go? I am thinking about applying too. I wish the interviews wouldn't be this hard. I'm not very good with the on the spot stuff :(
How did it go
Hi. Could you tell us how was the online test?
@@jeadranmalagon7921 were you able to sit for the online test?if so,how did it go?
I really really would like to thank you so much, I've been attending lots of interviews lately and believe me I've gained my confident and answers to the questions from you and every time I have an interview I always come to your channel, VERY VERY HELPFUL! Much appreciated.
Next Thursday I have an interview with the UNHCR for an Admin Assistant role so of course here I am again, and there is this question I've frequently been asked but didn't and still don't know how to answer.
The question follows why did I leave my last job? Now I have an answer for that thanks to you but i've left my job a year ago without finding another one and I've been unemployed since and they ask me (why did you leave without finding a job first?) how should I answer that! To be honest I left because it was a toxic and they have done me wrong a lot and I couldn't take it anymore but of course I know I can't speak badly of my previous employer, what should I do?
This will really help!: czcams.com/video/_i9I7Y09t6U/video.html
Best of luck! :)
How was your interview? Successful?
