Question

What are the steps I should follow if i want to join the United Nations' volunteer work?

Answer 1

The average age of a UNV is 38. The application process is *highly* competitive, and the people who land positions have many years of professional experience and excellent academic credentials -- usually master's degrees. Being able to work in at least two languages (one of them being English) is almost mandatory.

The online application process starts at

http://sofi.unv.org/

You will be required to note your areas of expertise and to provide a short essay (I think it's 2000 characters) that summarize your areas of specialization/qualifications. If you make the cut on this initial application, you will be asked to fully apply. If you make *that* cut, you get put into the UNV roster.

MOST people who apply are *not* accepted. Those who are accepted go into the UNV Roster, and may or may not ever be chosen for an assignment.
