I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at CIMMYT in Aug 2024
Interview
Me realizaron 4 entrevistas, la última fue de panel en inglés y duro 1 hora. La entrevistas son sencillas, si tienes experiencia no es nada de lo que no hayas hecho antes. No tienen buenas prácticas de RH, me pidieron mi recibo de mi trabajo anterior para no darme lo que pedí al iniciar el proceso. Me hicieron gastar en transporte para no darme lo que ya me habían prometido

CIMMYT was using a search firm who sent out written questions which spanned several pages and took a few hours to prepare. The questions were thoughtful and appropriate for the role.
