I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
The window for application was 14 days. I went through a really long form in Inspira and got the offer 8 days after the application system was closed. No reference letter or phone interview required probably cause I am not in US. It is preferable to provide as many professional experiences as possible.
