UN JOBS : HOW TO BUILD A CAREER IN UNITED NATIONS

Getting a job in the UN is a dream for many people, as a UN job is an amazing
chance to grow both professionally and personally while getting priceless
experience. Working for the UN, one should expect working in a team of
international experts, competitive salaries, and great career opportunities. So,
let's have a more detailed look at job types offered by the UN and clarify how
to become a part of this powerful organization.

But the main question is “how to get a job at the un” without spending 10 years
to achieve this dream ?


HOW TO START THE UN CAREER

If you love our planet and people and are eager to change the world for better,
you will certainly find an ideal job for yourself in the UN. This organization
is a huge employer, offering numerous career opportunities not only for
experienced professionals but also for those who are just looking for a dream
job. Competition is usually fierce, as there are often many candidates for the
same position, which is proof that UN jobs are desirable and popular.
Nevertheless, it's possible to become a UN worker. But be ready to prepare for
it, as it may not be as easy as people eager to start a career in the UN usually
expect. Now, let's have a look at the main steps you'll have to do to start the
UN career.

 1. Prepare. The best way to start is to browse the United Nations official
    website to get a better understanding of what you are offered. This may be
    super helpful for those who do not yet understand what they are looking for.
    On the website, you will have a chance to get acquainted with a list of job
    openings, areas, and qualifications required. Information is everything, so
    be prepared.
 2. Choose the staff category. As we have already mentioned, there are several
    staff categories to choose from. So, the next step is choosing the category.
    You should take into account your skills and interests, as well as work
    experience (it's essential for some jobs).
 3. Make sure you have enough experience and qualification for the position
    chosen. Understandably, each position has a set of requirements you should
    meet for your application to be considered. Sometimes candidates don't pay
    attention to the requirements relying on luck. It's completely wrong, as in
    this case people just waste their time applying. We'll discuss general
    requirements a little bit later.
 4. Register an account. Having selected a job, you should proceed to the next
    step - registration. To register a personal account, you'll have to provide
    some personal information (like your date of birth, your name, email, etc).
    You'll also have to provide some information about your qualification. And
    the last step is to create a user name and a password.
 5. Choose a job and apply. Think twice whether you meet all the requirements
    not to waste your time for nothing. You can apply for as many positions as
    you like. Instead using CV, you will need to use forms as UN p11 form
    (personal history form).  The applying process is not a complicated one, you
    just have to follow the instructions.
 6. Wait for an interview invitation. Having applied for a job (or several), all
    you have to do is wait. You will be able to check the status of your
    application in your account. Be attentive, as only those selected for an
    interview will be informed about the result.

There are several programs designed to help young people to find a career path
in the UN. One of the most popular is the Young Professionals Programme (we'll
discuss it a little bit later).





UN JOBS FAQ

 

 * How can I get a job in the UN?
   
   
   Getting into the UN may be challenging, so it's better to be fully aware of
   all your options and understand the potential problems you may face. The
   first step is research. Browse the official website to get acquainted with
   the company's ideology and its job openings. If you are sure you want to
   contribute to the well-being of humanity working in the UN, you are welcome
   to choose a position you like the most (or several) and apply. To do this,
   you'll have to go through the registration and provide some information about
   your qualification and some personal information. Make sure you meet all the
   requirements of the position chosen. If you are not experienced enough, you
   can select one of the internship programs offered by the UN.

 * What types of jobs are there in the UN?
   
   
   There are several job networks in the UN, including economic and social
   development, peace and security, information systems and communication
   technology, management and operations support, safety and security, public
   information and external relations, conference management. There is a huge
   selection of jobs for the potential candidates of various experiences and
   qualifications, so your possibilities are plentiful. There are different
   categories of workers, such as field services workers, professionals,
   national professional officers, general service workers, and several others.

 * How much do jobs at the UN pay?
   
   
   Salaries in the UN are competitive. In fact, the sum of money you'll get
   depends on several factors, such as your category, qualification, type of
   your contract, and your duty station. For some jobs (general services,
   national professional officers) people are hired locally, so the salary
   depends on it. Use our UN salary calculator to know your future sqlqry. 
   Choosing a position from professional and higher categories, you'll get from
   37,000$ to 123,000$ and from 31,000$ to 90,000$ if you are planning to work
   in field services (depending on qualification).

 * Is it difficult to get a job at the UN?
   
   
   Getting a job at the UN is certainly not an easy task. The competition is
   fierce, as there are usually many people eager to get the same position. It's
   better to immerse yourself into this adventure being prepared and ready for
   any outcome. Understandably, there are many people dreaming about working in
   a powerful international organization, but only the best candidates are
   chosen. All applications are carefully reviewed and chosen candidates are
   invited for an interview. It will be difficult, but we can make progress only
   by means of difficulties, so it's certainly worth trying.

 * Which languages should I know to apply for the UN job?
   
   
   Every UN job has a set of requirements, like age, work experience, etc.
   Language knowledge is another requirement that can influence your success.
   English, French, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian are the official UN
   languages, but usually, candidates are required to have a good command of
   either French or English. The more languages you know - the bigger your
   chances of getting a job of your dream. Besides, if you have good language
   skills, you can become a UN translator, interpreter, language instructor, or
   a teacher.

 * What degree/diploma/certification should I get to work at the UN?
   
   
   It depends on the position you'd like to get, as there are different
   education and work experience requirements. For some positions, a bachelor's
   (or higher) degree is required, while you can apply for the others having
   your High School diploma only.

 * Can I get a job being a student?
   
   
   Those looking for chances to start a successful career can do it even while
   studying in the university, as the UN offers several volunteer programs and
   internships for young people. For example, the UN Internship Programme makes
   it possible for students in the final year of a Bachelor program to get into
   the UN and understand the core principles of its work better. There is also a
   United Nations Volunteers Programme, which is active in approximately 80
   countries nowadays. So, if you are a student and want to get new knowledge
   and skills, you are welcome to choose any of the UN programs for students.

 * Where should I apply for a UN job?
   
   
   The applying procedure is not complicated at all. So, the first thing you
   should do is visit the career.un.org website to get acquainted with the job
   openings currently available. So, select the area you like and have a look at
   those. If you already know what types of positions you are looking for, just
   use filters to make the search easier. Click the "Search" button and you will
   have all the jobs in front of your eyes. If you have already chosen a
   position you'd like to apply to, the next step is registration at
   inspira.un.org. On this website, you'll have to provide all the necessary
   details about your qualification (as well as your personal information),
   write a cover letter and voila - you are ready to apply. Just go back to the
   vacancy you have selected and click the "Apply" button. 
   
   Use the UN career Guide if you are in trouble, it actually helped more than a
   thousand of candidates to find the job of their dream in the UN. In our guide
   we offer opportunities for all countries : from France UN jobs to Somalia
   jobs. Last week Fred got a UN job in south Sudan thanks to our guide. 

 * How much time does a UN job applicant have to wait for feedback whether
   she/he was shortlisted for the job?
   
   
   As a rule, it takes from two weeks to four months to go through the selection
   process. So, you'll have to be patient and wait for the e-mail informing you
   that you are selected for the next step (as a rule, it's a writing test). We
   have many written assessment test samples for organisations such UN, UNDP,
   WFP, and Unicef.
   
   Our UN career Guide provides you the best and most recent UN, WFP, Unicef and
   UNDP written test.
   Then comes the interview (by Skype or personally). After an interview, you'll
   have to wait for the final decision from 1 week to 1 month.

 * How to write a successful CV for the UN?
   
   
   The first and the most important rule you should remember - there should be
   no mistakes. A single little mistake or inaccuracy can reduce your chances.
   So, first of all, you are to provide your personal information. Then, proceed
   to education. Always start with the latest degree you've obtained. You should
   provide information about years of studying and the full names of educational
   institutions. Then comes a summary of your skills and proficiency. After this
   block of information comes professional experience, where you should try to
   highlight your most impressive achievements. Having done it, you are to
   provide some additional information (languages, additional training, etc.)
   and at least three references.
