Here’s the FULL LIST of CARE HOME INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to work for the United Nations?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am highly motivated to work for the United Nations because it enables me to address global issues, have a tangible impact, and contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment. This setting would broaden my perspective and improve my ability to effectively navigate intricate global challenges.
The United Nations is a globally recognized organization that plays a crucial role in addressing some of the world’s most urgent issues, including poverty, inequality, climate change, and conflicts. Working for the UN would enable me to contribute to these causes and provide a platform from which to make a tangible and positive global impact.
The commitment of the United Nations to multilateralism, professional development, global influence, and promoting peace and justice aligns precisely with my values and goals. For me, working for the UN is not just a job; it is a chance to be a part of something greater and leave a legacy that endures.”
Q2. How have you resolved a problem within a team?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“When a key team member abruptly quit during a client project, we faced a major challenge. We lost knowledge and progress due to this departure, endangering our deliverables. I called a team meeting to discuss and solve the problem because of the urgency.
During the discussion, we mutually reviewed the team member’s impact from leaving and determined the precise jobs and responsibilities that needed to be transferred. I took on additional responsibilities that fit my talents and experience. I collaborated with other team members to give assistance and training, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal project impact.
Our team needed open communication, flexibility, and a shared commitment to project success to solve this challenge. We filled the team member’s voids and maintained concentration, motivation, and momentum by working together. We overcame the issue, completed the job, and produced a high-quality deliverable.
This taught me the value of adaptation, teamwork, and proactive problem-solving in a team. It showed that obstacles are inevitable, but by working together, we can overcome them. This is a learning experience that I now implement in all team settings to ensure project success and team growth.”

Yes! I Want To Pass My Interview!UN Competency Based Interview
We advise you to prepare for the key competences that are needed for the job, position, or field you have applied for when preparing for your U.N. interview.
Describe a competency.
A competency is a “behavior” necessary to carry out a certain activity, obligation, or responsibility associated with a function. ‘Communicating effectively’ is one of the most frequent competencies and behaviors examined, for instance, in the majority of firms that need certain talents.
How can I show my competencies at the UN interview?
Giving a particular example in response to the competence interview question is the best method to prove you satisfy the requirement during the UN interview. For instance, if you are evaluated for the skill “teamworking,” you may be asked a question like this:
Describe a circumstance in which you cooperated with others to finish a task or project?
You would need to give a particular example of when you have already shown the fundamental abilities required surrounding the competency of collaboration while answering to this competency-based interview question.
Which competencies are most likely to be evaluated during my interview with the UN?
This heavily relies on the position for which you are being interviewed. However, the following competencies and values are the ones we advise you to focus on while preparing for interviews:
Effective communication; scheduling, prioritizing, and organizing workloads; demonstrating a dedication to excellence; professionalism; respect for diversity and integrity; leadership and management skills; ongoing professional development; effective decision-making skills; problem-solving skills; establishing and maintaining relationships; taking ownership and accountability; working as a team; and client focus and orientation.
3 TIPS FOR PASSING YOUR UN JOB INTERVIEW
TIP #1: In order to prepare for your United Nations (UN) interview, we advise you to learn about the history of the organization, the outstanding work it carries out, as well as to read the mission and vision statement, which will help you fully comprehend their goals. Therefore, you will be able to respond confidently and succinctly if the interview panel asks you, “What can you tell us about the work we do here at the United Nations?”
TIP #2: During your interview with the UN, you’ll probably be asked a number of competency-based interview questions. On this page, we’ve given you a few competence example questions so you can get ready to respond. We also urge you to research the relevant core skills and values for the position for which you are seeking, and to provide concrete instances of how you have already demonstrated that you have met each and every one of them in a past employment-related capacity.
TIP #3: You will have the chance to question the panel at the conclusion of your UN interview. We advise you to prepare three follow-up questions that will demonstrate to the interviewer that you are truly interested in the job the UN does as well as its long-term goals and intentions.
