    For those whom do not see him/herself in any of the 4 common categories to join UN described in this video, I share my story in which I joined the UN by commonly applying in the programme website page for a normal vacancy (Programme Assistant at UNDP-BR) and from there I made my way up into the organization. At the time I was 34 and I had never worked for anything remotely related to the UN before. Once I was inside, I realized that many people (nationals and foreign) have joined the UN in a very similar way as I did based on his/her previous experiences. I know it is weird when you are on the outside but this way of joining the organization is way more common than expected. It might take some time (2 to 3 months) but is possible such as in any other organization or company. I hope I have helped.

    Such a breath of fresh air from all the nonsense in YT these days. Highly underrated channel, a concise presentation for a topic that you could probably go on for hours. I'm currently into consulting but have always wanted to make an impact, so this information definitely helps. I wouldn't have thought that internships had such a wide range of participant's ages (aka when you said "much older").
    In your experience, do you HAVE to start at an early age to have a long-term career at the UN?

    Really helpful and timely! If you could do a few more on this subject that would be great. For example if you can't currently find any way to directly get your foot into the UN door, are there other ways or things you can do that will help you when the opportunity does come up? e.g. what types of grassroots causes could you be involved in before the UN; conferences/events that will help you find the right people to network with etc.

    I’m UN volunteer for 3 years the living allowance is good and is mostly fair money to live with e.g. in NY they pay 4K in Bangkok they pay 2.5K. When you enter you receive entry lump sum of 4000$ and so on exit allowance. They pay for your tickets and everything. Also they cover health insurance. For the internship it’s not always the case to no be paid. Because in Bangkok I notice interns are paid. If you have any questions regarding UN volunteer I will answer

    Hi! Great video. I wanted to ask you about the financial aspect of the internship. As you said, that they aren't paid. So, my question is ¿is there any way that for the interns to have a secondary half time job to provide for themselves? or if you could comment on how do they usually manage to cover their expenses (loans, savings, etc) that would be helpful. Thank you

    • @omniwhos67
      @omniwhos67 Год назад

      as an intern you work full-time (40h/week) you will have to use your savings or do weekend shifts. It is very difficult for anyone who does not have any financial support. + please do not expect to get a contract after the internship because that almost never happens. Once you are done with your internship you have to wait 6 months to apply on any fixed position of your choice. There are some internships in the UN where they do pay you 500/1000/month but most of the ones I know of are in Europe.
