You made it to the final round. Congratulations! You passed your HR interview, and now it is time to meet the coordinator of our Internal team. This conversation is about finding out whether we click: which skills and potential you would bring, how motivated you are, and whether this is the team for you. It is also your chance to ask everything you want to know.
What the Team Does
Internal is RAIA’s human resources team. It recruits and onboards new interns, runs the application process you have just been through, and keeps our remote community connected through internal events and seminars.
Do Your Homework
Before your conversation:
- Read at least one article from each category on our website.
- Listen to the latest episodes each of RAIAffairs and The Western Bubble.
- Inspect our social media.
What to Prepare
You have just experienced our application process from the other side, so use it. What worked well, and what would you improve? Then prepare two ideas:
- An internal online event that would bring our remote team closer together.
- An internal seminar on international relations, including how you would organise it and get people to take part.
The Conversation
Your coordinator will want to hear about your background and relevant experience, why you want to join the team, and what you hope to learn. Look at the position description again and think about where you are strong and where you want to grow. Then prepare your own questions about the team, its work and what a typical week looks like.
What Happens Next
Once all conversations are done, we make our decision, and you hear from us within one month of applying. If it is a yes: welcome to the team!
Good luck!
Best,
Dario Hasenstab
Managing Director, RAIA
