Some questions about working for the UN.?

Question

I'm interested in traveling the world one day to see what other cultures are like first hand. I figure the UN is a good place to start. So I have a few questions...

1. Other than translators what kind of jobs are there at the UN?

2. How much do jobs like that pay?

3. What requirements would I have to meet to get a job there?

and one more detail: If you for whatever reason are against the UN please don't answer this question. I respect your opinion but I'm looking for an answer not your opinion. Thank you.

Answer 1

The United Nations is like any other huge multi-national organization.  There are numerous jobs in a variety of fields (over 26) to support the UN General Assembly and its mission.

See the following website for a current list of job openings - it will give you an idea of specific requirements and possible future openings:

Answer 2

I would offer the following advice because I too wanted to work for the UN. They have an extensive job search page on their website that allows you to search by any number of criteria.  That should be your first stop just to see what they have available.
