Interview
Structured and very friendly! Based on 2 main interviews. 1st introductory and 2nd is case study. Would recommend a good industry knowledge and background study for prep. Not very active on linkedin
My interview was not very difficult but you have to prepare for it. You would probably expect to submit a task before the interview. Expect a one hour-long interview half is about your soft skills and experience but the other half is more technical (social media, website content, event comms, SEO, etc.)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ICARDA
