How difficult is it to get a job with the UN's NYC office?

Question

Do they have analytical/policy type positions? What type of work experience are they looking for? I have reviewed their employment website already, not terribly helpful.

Answer 1

You must have govt. connections of some sort. Try working for the state dpt in the US, or if your' not an American then try to get a job with its equivalent in your country. What you also could try doing is picking up and internship position with your congressman or working on a campaign, then mention it.

Answer 2
