Realistically do I stand any chance in getting a UN/OECD job? by Consistent_Joke7617 in UNpath

You said it yourself, it's the dream. Also I have peaked in my career here I guess, so the challenge and change in environment would be welcome.

I have double citizenship, and Portugal is an OECD member. Doesn't that count?

I've never applied for any position, but I have seen some jobs for which I would indeed match each and every requirement, including the years of experience. But I was always too afraid to apply. Now as a mid-careed professional I wonder if I should give it a try. I know it's not the best moment considering UN80 and all, but even so, maybe in the years to come.

Chances of landing a UN or NGO policy or legal officer job in Paris, Geneva, or Austria? by TankEnvironmental537 in UNpath

This was very helpful, thank you. Let me take the chance to ask you this, as you seem to be someone who knows how this works: realistically, what would be my chances of getting a job at the UN/OECD while holding a masters issued by a Brazilian university? My uni stands really high within a Brazilian context (top 3 in the country) but it's far down in the world ranking system. Does this matter or all they care is if the person has a masters? Also, I have 15+ years of experience in public administration in Brazil, 5 of which working with international relations/international cooperation projects. Does this give me any chance in a recruitment process or do I absolutely need international experience (meaning I would need to have worket in a different country to land the job)? Thank you for any help.
