I applied online. I interviewed at World Economic Forum

The interview process was rather short and I was directly interviewing with a very senior employee of WEF. However, after the interview, which I thought went really well, nobody bothered responding.

The interviewer is attempting to ascertain whether a job applicant is unhappy or dissatisfied with her current job and whether there is a chance that the same issues will arise if she is hired. The interviewer is curious as to why job seekers who are currently unemployed were let go.
The interviewer is really interested in what value you can add to the potential employer and how your credentials can support the organization’s direction, so please explain why you are interested in this position/our company.
