Applying for a job in the UN can be challenging, but extremely rewarding. With that in mind, we prepared five great tips for you to keep in mind during the application process:
Choose the right job for you
Apply only to those jobs that are suited to your strengths and aspirations and make sure to update your application to highlight important facts relevant to the job you are applying for.
Highlight your achievements
When describing past experiences, focus on what you’ve accomplished and achieved, as opposed to what you do on a daily basis.
