Professional Guidance Request:

Dear HR professionals teams

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out because I have been shortlisted for the Emergency Food Security and Vulnerable Livelihoods (EFSVL) Officer written examination and technical assessment with Oxfam GB. Given your extensive expertise in humanitarian recruitment, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or best practices you could share to help me prepare effectively for this specialized assessment.

Specifically, I am interested in your insights on the following:

1. The primary focus of the written exam (e.g., technical case studies, rapid food security assessment methodology, or logframe design).
2. The specific frameworks Oxfam favors beyond the standard Sphere Standards and the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS).
3. Common pitfalls that candidates often encounter during the technical testing phase for this humanitarian tier.

Any recommendations for reading materials or additional advice would be invaluable as I strive to align with Oxfam’s rigorous operational and value-based standards.

Thank you very much for your time, support, and dedication to fostering talent within the humanitarian sector.

Warm regards,

Met Hoth Ngor
