Hi Platy2,

I was informed of inclusion into the FIT pool for Supply Chain/Logistics Officer in April 2020. Since then, I have received two e-mails for Expression of Interest with both going dead silent. No response to my follow-up e-mails either. I just saw on Aug-31, there was a an Expression of Interest for different roles including Supply Chain.

So I'm curios to know as well, if anyone has received a job offer or has some insider info to share with us on what is happening.

Best!

Hello colleagues,

Anyone with updates on Risk and compliance officer positions? I had a panel interview a month ago, but the radio is silent on my side.

Thank you.

Same here. Had my panel interview in late Oct and I have not heard from them since then.

Hey Guys, I was invited to the panel interview, could someone shred a light on this stage? How I could prepare myself? It would be more like a technical interview or solely competency-based one?

Thank you and Good luck to everyone !

Dear @Ch_E 13 Have you been requested to provide the referees yet? I saw they have requested me to provide theme before even sitting for the panel interview. I was wondering if it is the same for you?

 

Cheers -

Hi Colleagues, I am new to the group. Its really helpful to go through the comments. I am going through the process of  Security officer P3/P4. Had my Language test last week and the status date changes yesterady stating 'We are pleased to advise you that you will be partaking in the assessment phase'.... What does that mean? Is it a good sign that I will be taking part in the panel interview or the roller coster stops here.... Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks

Certainly, every time the status changes its a positive sign.  You start preparations for panel

That's a standard procedure - they will even complete conflict of interest - they will only contact referees much later if you are successful - that will be the tell-tell sign that you are joining the pool

Thanks dear for the information. But I was reading in one of the comments made earlier by a colleague that after language test when status date changes they will write 'Congratulations, you have move to the interview stage' Which is not in my case rather its the same ''You will be partaking....''. just wondering whether any other colleague had the same message on status and were invited to the panel interviews. Many thanks 

[ADAMJohn]

Any of the member has come across a news that security officers p3/p4 have been invited for PANEL INTERVIEWS?  Your info sharing is much appreciated. Thanks

Dear Uhuru, 

Thank you for the input. I suspected this was standard. After the panel, have you known your academic or professional references were checked, because they told you or have you seen any status change in your profile? Dates changes or something like that? Do you remember how long after the interview did they contact your references? 

Thank you

That's true.  You get a message that you have passed through to the interview stage, assessment is the stage before...in some cases motivational and language tests are sent at the same time hence that msg.  Give it a month or so after completing Language and Motivational then you will know whether you've made it to the final stage

[LeaoAzul]

What's the consensus on the time it takes to receive a decision after the panel interview? They mentioned 2 months. Anyone receive word any sooner?

[Uhuru2020]

Happy New Year folks.

Hoping to start to hear some good news of people getting recruited.

 

[Eduard 20]

Happy new year Uhuru. We are hoping for the best.

[MA1990]

Happy New Year Uhuru. Any good news from your end?

Still waiting for an invitation to apply to any openings, none so far. I've started to apply to other agencies in the meantime as we wait. 

[LeaoAzul]

@Uhuru2020, Happy New Year!, So from your last message it sounds as if once you are in the FITpool the subsequent steps are to receive an invitation to apply for role and compete once more?

Also, do you recall how long it took to be notified of your inclusion into the pool after your panel interview?

@LeaoAzul Yes am in the Pool, on average it takes 1-2 months after panel interview as they have to do reference checks. Mine took 3 months but i realized the contact person had gone on leave and i suppose the turnaround was delayed

[Ahmed1310]

Hello 

i have gone through the panel interview one month ago but since that time i have received nothing.what’s the next step. Would they ask me to provide them with references if i passed the panel interview 

[LeaoAzul]

@Ahmed1310 which fitpool did you interview for? Timing for requesting references doesn't seem to be consistent plus with the holiday period and new year there is most likely a delay.

[Ahmed1310]

@LeaoAzul security fitpool .

My question: when references will be requested 

how long after the panel interview

[LeaoAzul]

@Ahmed1310 reading through the forum, some were requested before even attending the panel, while some were asked after a couple weeks. It varies, but you could always contact devex to ask.

[Uhuru2020]

Hello Members,

A luta continua! 

Just checking in if any of us in the FIT pool has commenced work since the last intake in August 2020? 

I wonder what the absorption rate is for the pool as I believe it should be less than 30%. Since I was added in August, i havent received any proposed role which is a tad disappointing.

I am considering a temporary role in UNOPS which should be able to keep me going and at least enter the system - I may not inform HQ Fit Pool about the change in circumstances either  

Would be great to hear some experiences.....good day!

Hello everybody and Hi Uhuru2020!

No news from my side. I have received an email from HR asking if I was interested in staying in for another year, which I thought was already settled in the rules, but a part for that, no news sadly. 

I guess this is a weird time, but still! 

Good luck to all of you!

I finished my panel interview on 27 November 2020 and since i didn’t hear from their side and my status wasn’t changed since that time even I contacted them and they reported that the process is ongoing 

my question is

Does it take that time to finalize the results and when they normally contact the references(which no one asked me to provide their names or data) after the panel interview 

[Fredza]

Hello everyone

As anyone here applied for a P2 position at WFP and took the assessment test? I took mine yesterday for the Learning and Development Specialist role. 

Would be helpful to hear when does a candidate gets contacted after the test? How long is the process before the vidéo interview ?

Please share your experience.  Thanks so much
