You made it to the final round. Congratulations! You passed your HR interview, and now it is time to meet the coordinator of our Project Development 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
Project Development builds RAIA’s partnerships and new formats. The team develops collaborations with universities and other organisations, creates new projects and makes sure that everything we do fits our mission of giving young people real experience in international affairs.
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
Look at our existing products with a critical eye: the newsletter, the podcasts and the website. What works, and what would you change? Then bring at least one idea for a new project that fits RAIA’s mission. It does not have to be perfect. We want to see how you think about turning an idea into something real.
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 projects 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
