Description

The goal of this course is simple: to equip you with the in-depth knowledge needed to navigate the United Nations recruitment process successfully. Whether you're aiming for a life-long rewarding career or a short-term highly paid contract that could lead to a long-term appointment, this course will greatly increase your chances of being hired by the United Nations.

The secret to securing UN contracts, whether short or long-term, lies in understanding the organizational structure, knowing which positions to apply for to increase your chances, and preparing your résumé to pass both automated and manual screening processes. Additionally, you’ll need to be ready for the test and, finally, the Competency-Based Interview.

This course will guide you through each step of the process. Using images, PowerPoint slides, and video screenshots of the actual websites, we’ll ensure you understand every detail. You’ll have access to examples of letters, official emails, and replies, along with the latest information from the United Nations to help you make informed decisions about where and what to apply for.

The course lasts approximately 3 hours, packed with essential information. You’ll also have access to me in the discussion panel for any questions you may have during and after the course.

According to reviews on Glassdoor, the United Nations offers an incredible work environment and a rewarding career. However, the application process is competitive and complex. This course is designed to prepare you thoroughly, giving you the best possible chance of success.
