  1. Virtually all professional and senior posts require an advanced degree; significant number of years of recent, relevant and specialized work experience, some field experience in developing countries; and at least a working knowledge of a second UN language, usually French or Spanish. (Appointments to Translator or Interpreter posts require passing a qualifying examination.)

    There are rarely suitable openings for students, recent college graduates, or persons who lack pertinent experience or language skills.

    TRANSLATOR AND INTERPRETER POSITIONS

    The UN agencies recruit for these positions by competitive examination. A university degree, relevant experience, and a thorough knowledge of at least three official United Nations languages are required. The Department of State does not recruit for Translator or Interpreter positions. Persons interested in these positions should contact the UN Recruitment Office in New York, or write directly to the organizations that interest them.


  2. why ask here?  Call the employment offices at the UN

  3. I heard (from someone who used to be one she spoke 8 languages), you need at least a degree, fluency 2 of the offical languages (English, French, Arabic or Spanish) and to know someone.
