IT is difficult to work for the United Nations???

Question

I'm a political science student then I want to study law and then a master degree in international law.I'm fluent in english and spanish.

Answer 1

I dont think so, I knew a guy I worked  in a Gold mine with, go work for UN in Thailand monitoring elections. He was a dope freak, stole and sold equipment  from UN to locals. Ended up shagging and marry one of local rebels. He was Australian.

Answer 2

You need a top education and top work experience.  The UN is like the NBA they only take proven prospects.  Try and see if you can work for the U.S. Department of State, and then go to the UN.  Try other international Organizations like the OAS, IMF, and WB.  You really need to have a top of the line resume with political refrences.

Answer 3

Check http://jobs.un.org to see the kind of qualifications you need to work there. Just keep in mind that the UN wants some kind of worldwide geographical balance in its hiring so having some kind of international ties outside the US would probably make you more attractive to them.

Answer 4

You have to have these skills: liar, thief, lazy and willing to relocate.

Answer 5

No, as long as you stay amongst the lower ranks. The higher up you go the worse it gets. Politicking and backstabbing, not to mention the red tape. It is competetive to get a job there without connections, but when you do have connections it's a walk in the park even without...ok, I'll stop there. ^_^.

Just one thing, it's not all that its hyped to be.

Answer 6

Why the UN???  Good God ya wanna avoid that w***e house of debauchery!!!

Answer 7

OK, you're going into law.  That means you are highly susceptible to criminal influence. so you might make it very well in the UN.

Answer 8

The UN is a very competitve system. . .and it is indeed very difficult getting a position there.
