Hey!
In this video, I read the cover letter that got me my internship at the UN aloud. I've also sprinkled in some gentle reminders.
I'm so sorry for the focus issues in this video. I will NOT have a lit candle in my videos going forward.
I hope this video encourages you to put your best foot forward!

Hi Lamia,
I am Siddhesh. I observed that you have a strong and impressive background in communications while watching this video, and since I am also applying to UNICEF, I found two internships related to communications. So I thought I would let you and your followers know about these two positions.
Even though I don't know if you intend to pursue a second internship in communications, I chose to share this nevertheless because I believe some of your followers would be interested in this field. Thank you.
So thoughtful, thank you Siddhesh! I've pinned your comment so more people see it.
You're welcome. I'm happy to help.
Thank you so much for this video. I came across to it when I was stuck with the cover letter structure it helped a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing! You are an inspiration!!!
Loved the video..
But wow girl I love your accent+ voice ..very soothing
That's so kind, thank you Meena!
Hi Lamia! Thank you so much for the video. I am having a doubt: the UNICEF internship post asks for a copy of my highest level of education certificate. Which certificate should I upload if I finished my 3rd-year of undergraduate but have not graduated yet?
The longest 3mins in the intro girl😂but thank you for getting to it
When you realise it's more because of her achievements on other platforms
I applied yesterday for intern but still i m student in third year of mbbs ...Am i Eligible ?
detailed and insightful
Thank you!
Thank you so much for answering my previous question it really helps. I have another question; when location is "Home Based" on an internship post for UN what does it means?
Happy to help, Jeannine. 'home based' usually means it's a remote position.
Hi Lamia. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking up max cover letter length allowed and I keep seeing "1 page" and "400 words". Is this true? I feel like I have so much to say. Also, did you write your name and contact details in the letter or just in your cv?
Heya, I don't know about a word limit, but I'd say don't go over 2 pages. Funny enough, I did add my contact details to the cover letter in question, but I don't do it anymore - I figured it was unnecessary as it would be together with the rest of my application. It really is up to you.
@@LamiaFarah thank you. This helps a lot.
Could you make an updated cover letter video that summarizes your new experience? Thank you!!
I will do my best to deliver on this, thanks for the suggestion!

Love your content
So glad to have you here, Lebetina!
Wow... Thanks for your shearing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Lamia, is it a remote internship?
Thank you for sharing
You're so welcome, Stella.
Hi Lamia,
my name is Siddhesh and I needed your advice for a small doubt.
I am the co-founder of a cleantech company and I wanted to know whether I could apply to a P-2 level if I had more than 4 years of experience while I was in college. Asking this doubt because sometimes organizations count work done while a student is still in college as a part-time job, but in my case, I was running my own company so if you see my hours of work and efforts are more like full-time experience. hence can you please can you guide me on what should do in such a situation.
Hi Siddhesh, I'd advise you to contact the organisation with your inquiry directly. I began this series to share my experience as an intern.
Okay, I tried, but I didn't get a response, so I asked you because you are the only person I know who has worked with UNICEF. Please let me know if you know a mail address where they reply to questions.
Thank you very much.
love this, and you miss Lamia
🤍💕🤍
Hi there
Please I'm currently applying for WHO internship but there is one field I have to upload published articles and since I'm undergraduate I have not uploaded any articles and it's mandatory field so what should I do
Hi Jafari, I'd advise you to create a Google Doc where you explain this ^ and then link it in the mandatory field.
Please make video how to upload all attachments step by step because most of us we make mistakes in filling those steps
Hey Jafari, thanks for the video suggestion. I've filmed the video and it should be up by the end of the week!
could have shared in the document form , that would have provided better insights
such an interesting and impressive profile!
Thank you, Fatima!
That was an impressive cover letter. As I am looking for internship in WHO (already applied for 2 internship) could you please help me to improve my cv.
Thank you! So glad to hear you've already submitted some applications. I'll do my best to get a CV guide video out soon!
my dear, is the cover letter different from the motivational letter
No, they're the same.
@@LamiaFarah oh thank you very much, because the internship I am applying for requested for the cover not apart from the profile history. so the motivational letter still is the cover note like you are saying.
I am new in your channel from Morocco 🇲🇦
I applied for UNICEF internship but i am student
Are you graduate??
And can you do a video about Acceptance steps and how they will contact you ❤
Hey Chaimaa, welcome to the channel! I loved Morocco when I visited! UNICEF internships are open to students and graduates. I've done a video entitled 'Being delusional helped me get my dream internship at the United Nations' and I talk about the whole process from applying to starting my internship. Best of luck with your applications!
Hi chaimaa, did you get the internship? Any tips? I’m from the region as well
@@nutella9446 no
Awesome. Thanks so much.
me about to copy paste this 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching :)
