Eye opening analysis. I was 40 when I joined the UN and it took me more than five years to get to the P category. One more thing. The UN recruit people, who did (almost) exactly the same job somewhere else. Many people believe "I could do this and that for the UN". That almost never works as there are hundreds of others with relevant experience. Be pretty good at something and you may get a chance. Do not be sad if you do not succeed. Working for the UN is not always what you are dreaming about.
Thanks a lot, Hippy in A Suit for the well-rounded UN demographic data. It gives one a panoramic picture and understanding of UN human statistics. You can also consider factoring in UN statistics related to academic levels like Diploma, Associate Degree, Bachelors, Masters, PhD and so on.
Thanks a lot! Finally I found an English native speaker, whom I understand without any efforts. Very eloquent and at the same time very easy to follow every single word. :)
As someone who has been improving my French over the last few years, this comment means a lot to me :) I know how hard it is to follow things in a second language so I am glad this video was clear for you!
First off all,thanks for the video! I think your channel have a very special role, specialy when we are trying to thing about the crises that the World is facing right now ! I was thinking about the nationality topic. I think there's much more english speaking countries than other languages. If we go deeper, as in the gender, maybe nationality (or race?) can act in a different way.
I have submitted several applications in the general services category. It's been over a year and my application status on two has remained under consideration, while another was filled with out an offer for an interview providing equal consideration amongst other eligible candidates. I have come to realize that the odds of obtaining employment with the UN is pretty much like playing the lottery. But it never hurts to try. It's like they say "you have got to be in it, to win it". Good luck.
i was a unv dds volunteer in the asia and the pasific region for more than 6 years. its still any programmes such as unv dds volunteer?, i request kindly for reply.thks
Hi there and thanks for your very elaborate video. Upon checking some UN staff statistics and IOM ads that list first tier countries (the list of underrepresented ones) i noticed that there are countries like latvia and montenegro that have 2 and 3 employees, respectively. While Slovenia that is also represented with 2 employees, is not on the list. Do you know why is this the case? I am from Slovenia and when I started applying for IOM jobs about 10 years ago, my country was on the first tier list of countries. I was puzzled by it and wanted to know the reason behind it. Many thanks, Nadim
Thank you so much for your videos! So informative and helpful! I was surprised to learn that the average entry age is 43. I was curious whether you have a sense of how possible or not it is for a senior professional to be hired into a more-or-less lateral position within the UN or whether one has to work up within the system (and, if so, what level position would be reasonable to apply for?) In my case, I do have a year of field work as a consultant several years ago but it's been a slog of no call backs so wondering if I'm aiming too high. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!
I have more than 10 years of experience in Indian Banking sector, woked at varous capacities like project manager , manager Administration, executive assistant to the Department Head, Branch Head etc. Presently working as Head of finance and Administration in a firm in Qatar, Middle East . My English is fluent. What are my chances of applying for a post in the UN
Hi, thank you for sharing this informative video. I have more than 10 years of experience as a civil servant in the central government or ministry level and I'm interested in applying for a job at the United Nations. Can you advise me on whether I should start to apply for the G5 staff position or the P3 position?
I've been doing the same job for 18 years. No job growth. Please do a video on G Staff at the UN. This P Staff video is only 50% of the picture. Thank you.
We don't have the exam where I work but even with the exam it's near impossible. You are typecast for life. Besides think about it, why should you have to take an exam if you already have a Master's degree or PhD. Those exams are archaic..for a time when G staff qualifications were high school diploma and secretary school. The entire system needs an overhaul.@@pelagiusseptim3454
If you actually look at the demographics, you will find that women usually pause or stop their careers at some point for family issues or to start a family. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but just simple ground truth.
I just have a question if I was one of the short list in the assessment test and at the assessment time I had a miss internet connection and I couldn’t have the test would they give me a chance again in any coming position for the next 2 years or they will put me in the black list? Hope you answer my question. Thanks in advance ❤

@@HippyInASuit1 in my according My intern is already completed under this age this is my UN job age .is that ok to accept with work in the United Nations.
Is it true in you are there for unpaid internship it’s hard to get a permanent job there? Also that it’s hard for a G level to reach P level because they don’t think the upgrade is good for you?
Good morning dear My honorable sister plz help me any way MS Mohammad Imran I, m the student day by day my life is spoil and destroy i can't study without money so that so My parents aren't give me any money,I hope you can understood.

Mejor poned a estos delante, que ya sabéis como son los ocupas que tenéis arriba por culpa de los amigos ingleses. Manteneos detrás de ellos, que si alguien quiere un agujero nuevo se lo lleven ellos que para eso colaboraron y cobran en lo que esta pasando, dejad que lo recojan y distribuyan ellos, manteneos detrás en todo momento, es una falta grave que los exterminen (cosas de estirados pálidos).

Do you know anyone who work at UNESCO? Or with historic patrimonium or museums?
Hi, thank you for sharing this informative video. I have more than 10 years of experience as a civil servant in the central government or ministry level and I'm interested in applying for a job at the United Nations. Can you advise me on whether I should start to apply for the G5 staff position or the P3 position?
You should only apply to a G position if you want to work in administration. If you are a content expert, apply in a P position.
For career development is it possible to change from G to P level?@@HippyInASuit1
I've been doing the same job for 18 years. No job growth. Please do a video on G Staff at the UN. This P Staff video is only 50% of the picture. Thank you.
isn't there a g to p exam? doesn't a g emplyee get the chance to transfer? are g jobs that bad?
We don't have the exam where I work but even with the exam it's near impossible. You are typecast for life. Besides think about it, why should you have to take an exam if you already have a Master's degree or PhD.

Replace voter card, pan card,adhar card ,ration card, passport all in one in India for make life easy for everyone . My humble request, thank you.
@hippyinasuit is it correct that you can't be employed in P and D categories in your own country? Request for your opinion on this.
No, that's not true. You just lose some benefits if you are a national of the country you are employed in (home leave, etc.)
@@HippyInASuit1 thank you.

There is no black list that I know of so you should keep trying :)

Do I have to get the 5 year experience from the same place or how can I get it when I only have a bachelors degree in arts! Please help!!
I am a teacher assistant and thinking of getting a masters degree in Public relations to be able to work in the international organizations like un, im 34 now who lives in the us and became a us citizen but came from Northern Africa “Libya” specifically, would I have a chance??!
Can 18 year applied
Normally they will be looking for someone with a Masters so it is unlikely to be accepted at 18.

What is the probability of volunteering online with UN?
I do not believe UNV takes online volunteers but it is probably best to check their website to see - www.unv.org/
🇾🇪♥️♥️
22 age is ok to work in United Nations
As an intern most likely.
@@HippyInASuit1 in my according My intern is already completed under this age this is my UN job age .is that ok to accept with work in the United Nations.
@@KhushiKumari-wg7xw I think first you should improve your sentence structure.
thank you so much for telling me about my mistakes to me could you please type them so that I try to correct them?
@@HippyInASuit1 how long have you been working for the UN? And why is that no one knows what is your job there?
Is it true in you are there for unpaid internship it’s hard to get a permanent job there? Also that it’s hard for a G level to reach P level because they don’t think the upgrade is good for you?
Yes, watch my 3 Things You Should Know Before Applying to the UN + 4 Entry Points videos. They include information on both subjects :)

Women don't move up as frequently because of a focus on family and not competition. Your analysis is therefore not concluding correctly.
