Thanks for your guidance!

[@ringakol2368]

Based on my experience with united nations one need to engage much with others organizations first in order to gain and get exposure that could possibly help you climb the ladder to professional position when you join UN. I really appreciate the video and though I was one in the system still need to learn more like the computer base assessment, which after me.

[@rachaelgichohi392]

Do you think this can apply also for UN translators and interpreters ? I feel that interpreters department specially hiring process works a little diferent than the rest of the UN but what do you think? ^^ thats the area I dream to apply someday. My mother tongue is Spanish, im from south america and lived 2 years in China. My bachelor is Chinese Language and now im preparing to do my master studies in English- Spanish translation and interpretation. But I know is hard to achive and many people want to be an ibterpreter at the UN. Thank you so much for your videos, its helping me a lot to prepare 🙏🏻❤️

Hi can you please talk about the CV does the inspira website require an ATS friendly CV? Also just how to boost the application with the CV. Thank you in advance

[@julim9205]

Hey! I was wondering if you could help answer a few of my questions? Do they hire language students? I'm British/French but studied Arabic/German and also speak French. Which department would most likely hire me with a languages profile? I am interested in working for UNICEF & UNCHR. Also some other questions... - [ ] If I am enrolled to study law but have deferred - do I count as a student? - [ ] Is the best way into the UN through an internship? - [ ] Can I apply within 2 years of graduating or do I have to get the internship within two years of graduatin? - [ ] what kind of thing can i do after the internship has ended if i won’t have enough experience for most jobs - it seems the only option is another internship? - [ ] Is it harder to get the internship or direct job?

Thanks for the video..I applied for a G5 job with a UN Agency, did the first written test and was invited for the panel interview. In the event that I pass the interview what chances do I have of getting the job since I do not have a work permit and neither am I a resident in the country of the assignment

[@kenechirai2839]

Hy can you make a video for a permanent resident or usa citizen who wants to work in un. Are they entitled to the same benefits the other national gets or not? It’s so confusing. Some says have to renounce the green card to work in un?

Can one work with un as a form 4 leaver and i haven't joint campus. But I have passion and skills towards that job. please answer me because this is something that is in my blood and I love to see myself working with the UN. Please give me a positive answer

[@qwertyswerty9157]

First of all she isn't Kenyan so she doesn't know what form 4 leaver is. I would suggest you try UN Volunteers. You could also search for jobs in Turkana or Samburu or Marlal. It could be a start. I wish you the best.

[@lilianoliveira5027]

What would you say about PHD? Would doing one make you stand out for the UN system?

[@Legopro2.0]

It depends on the qualifications requirements defined in the vacancy notice. Normally a PhD is required for specialized and technical roles. And might also be useful in consulting. A master's degree, however, is essential for most international professional roles. The UN system is vast and complex. Fluency in French and/or Arabic and the desire to work in hardship duty stations, emergencies and post-conflict/disaster contexts also would also be important.

[@susieoh5271]

I have my first UN interview in a week with the organization for migration (IOM). It took 5 weeks from application to getting the interview email. I couldn't believe when I got the email. I've applied a few times for admin jobs but of course never heard back.

[@Ali_maj]

Since 3 days Ive applied on a administration position too Can you tell help ?

[@susieoh5271]

@@Ali_maj I never saw this message. I got the interview because I matched the job 100%. The job was working at an airport helping refugees who arrived to my country. I had the right experience because I worked for airlines. I was already doing the same job and I worked at the airport they were hiring for. That's how I got my interview. You have to currently be doing the same job at the same workplace.

Hi! I’m currently in 1st year pursuing a Bachelors in CS and I’m planning to do masters in Machine Learning and I think there’s a lot that technology can do to help solve a lot of major world issues and it can do it fast. I wanna work in a field where I can use tech for social good but I’m worried I won’t find very interesting jobs in the UN with my background and people with a background in Humanities will more likely get interesting roles. Am I right in thinking so? What responsibilities do technical jobs offer? Also, It was a great video!

[@ajaysawant5391]

WOW

[@eliedabelly3804]

Me too! I majored in statistics and did a bootcamp w a couple projects using machine learning, but I couldn't find many opportunities at the UN

[@parwiznikzad4102]

In my opinion yes, in UNAMA where all the working areas are related to politics and security.

[@bradchoi662]

It depends, but I believe the defense job and the UN job is probably different section.
