I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Commonwealth Secretariat in Aug 2019
Interview
One of the lengthiest application processes I've experienced to date. There were long gaps between email communication. Took around 6 months from the initial online application, written test and face to face interview. Be prepared to be in it for the long haul!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty standard interview questions. Strange atmosphere among interview panel, which was quite off-putting.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Commonwealth Secretariat (London, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was a panel interview, with the person you'll be reporting to, and 2 others from different teams.
The host mainly asked questions related to the role, as well as technical questions about how you would approach problem solving and people management.
