Service Description:

Landing an internship at the United Nations is a dream for many. Understandably, since the UN Internship Programs combines prestigious and a wide range of benefits with meaningful work that can help billions of people around the world. If this is your case, OpenIGO can help you increase your chances of succeeding in this competitive selection process with our UN Internships Mock Interview service!

The UN Internship Program selection cycle includes an interview phase, which aims to find out more about the candidate, and analyze their knowledge, competences and experience. It is widely understood that the UN Internship interview model is the Competency based interview (CBI) but, in fact, it is mixed, combining this model with the traditional interview.

Having a mock interview with a professional who has extensive experience and knowledge of the UN Internship interview model will help you be better prepared for this phase, greatly increasing your chances of being selected for the desired vacancy. The UN Internships Mock Interview is held by Google Meets (preferably), Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, Hangouts or Facetime, conducted by an interview specialist and lasts around 60 minutes. On average, the interviewer (a professor with a Ph.D. who is a specialist in the UN Internships) spends approximately two hours reading all of your documents and preparing a script to be used in your interview, plus around one hour in a mock interview with you. Every interview is personalized and unique.
