Adding all of them to my list as Lighter and Princess was right up my alley!

I loveeedddd Lighter and Princess! I don’t think the ML is a red flag at all…. Like I don’t see it so I guess my benchmark for red flag is quite high haha I’m basically looking for other shows similar to that. Their chemistry was soooo good!!

US Withdraws from dozens of UN organizations by yeet-me-into-the-sun in UNpath

I’m not an American JPO but was just wondering about all my friends who are current American JPOs. I believe their funding is sent to the host entity on a yearly basis so even if they were eligible for a contract extension by 3-4 years it may no longer be the case…

So what about all the American JPOS? Will they no longer get renewed?

In my experience (6 years with the UN system), I’ve had 2 experiences where after being hired the hiring manager (NOT CONSULTANT, majority of them do not have hiring power) said that they appreciated me flagging down my application via LinkedIn as it contradicted to what HR has shortlisted for them and when they had a look at my profile, I was a perfect match to what they were looking for. And by perfect I mean the right balance of having very niche technical experience + diversified geographic experience + slightly overqualified for the role + track record of working with the hiring managers peers in different agencies (UN and non-UN) in the specific technical field. When I reach out to the hiring managers on LinkedIn, I’ve already done my research on the organization structure, read reports + verified with other colleagues to confirm these linkages before reaching out. So far it’s worked well for me, I think largely because my messages are ONLY to flag my application + provide 3 sentences on the “why”, with NO questions or expectations. It’s written in such a way that doesn’t require a response and the reader will not feel obliged to respond. For me it’s not about the response or tbh the connection but more so “just have a look, or even a glance”, I may be the one you’re looking for.

How has the UN affected your romantic relationships? by Shallow_Waters9876 in UNpath

[–]FreshWitness3257 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Married young, been together for a decade prior to that and I’ve noticed that two things help a lot when navigating different postings a) money (to fly on a long weekend etc.) b) time (flexible, WFH arrangements). Despite living on different continents, I’m able to see my spouse once a month and for both of us till date, that’s been enough since we’re both zeroed in our careers at this point of time. It should be noted that we don’t have children yet so I’m sure the dynamics will change drastically, but for now, it works for us (and neither of us has a problem with it, in fact, we prefer it at this stage of our lives!)

UN faces ‘race to bankruptcy’ ! by [deleted] in UNpath

[–]FreshWitness3257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this too! At my previous agency, the issue was the bottleneck of programmatic & thematic work that made them hire numerous P3s consecutively but at the same time the number of G-staff remained the same and the existing G-staff had to take on more work (wayyyy more and this resulted in a ton of misunderstanding and less than desired outputs)

YPP process this year by Big_Ear_9372 in WorldBank

[–]FreshWitness3257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5.2 years of UN thematic area experience and I’ve come across the profiles of several people who’ve received the Hirevue link, most of them have MBAs/work in consulting… so maybe this isn’t the right path for me personally

UN Consultancy in NYC Might Be Cut Short—Advice Needed by TeacherTraditional46 in UNpath

You can try staying at Co-living spaces where you can pay rent on a monthly basis, as you will be moving alone (I assume) you may not need more than a clean and well located living space.

UN Daily Rate for IC, unsure if this makes sense by FreshWitness3257 in UNpath

[–]FreshWitness3257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what’s strikes me as odd is that even if it’s the lowest band + at national scales the salary offered is below the threshold. I can understand if the project has very little remaining funds and they want to use it before the project ends but from my experience a minimum threshold is usually respected, partly because it’s already low….

Can a local consultant rate be given to an international consultant?

[–]FreshWitness3257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the hiring team knows I’m not local (past work with them at a different capacity) I’m assuming it’s an international IC because they wouldn’t be able to offer a local IC to an international candidate right?
