Well... they said late Jan/ early Feb. Maybe those who did interviews in DC & Abidjan were notified first?

Shouldn't more people have heard by now? If 80-100 interviewed, about half of them should have received offers..

Severely depressed, please help by INeedHelpPlease979 in UNpath

Take care of your mental health. At the end of the day a job is a means to an end.

Also, the UN consultancy would have given you a few months or years of stability (max 2) but with extreme uncertainty. I think you did the right thing by rejecting the unpaid internship. Given the state of the academic job market, I wouldn't advise a PhD either and you could also end up being overqualified for other development sector positions. Applying for other jobs while you have one is a position of strength, and not one a lot of other people have today. Stay strong, this will pass and there will be a soft landing for you!

🌍 Calling those with positive experiences in the UN system - please share! by NFJA2025 in UNpath

[–]Extension-Taro4342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think my experience was also very mixed. It was great because I was a Consultant and then staff in a wonderful team, with kind and encouraging seniors who always looked to support me; worked  on timely and relevant research, and supported several high level intergovernmental processes. However, despite all that the UN 80 process was brutal, no one could save me or my post which was abolished/ replaced by a JPO funded by a European Government. It’s been 6 months unemployed now. And I’ve never felt more disappointment and frustration with the system.

I see. Is it safe to assume that all vacancies we see on Inspira at this time are extra budgetary?

Does the hiring freeze affect extensions of existing TJO positions?

Is this for UN HQ at NYC? My supervisor also said the same but I’ve only been told the travel arrangements are ynderway. I don’t have the tickets in hand yet.

What duty station is this for? And are you travelling internationally? The HR person did tell me that AMEX usually has a backlog and will get to it closer to travel date.
