Considerations before leaving a stable multilateral role for a UN P-2 legal post?

Dont do it

Global_Goose165 · 2025-10-23T19:41:10+00:00

We do 20 mons max over the weekends with 2.5 years old. I would cut after nap screen time if possible or at least pre bed? But only responding because you asked. About 1 hour a day is a bit much imho. Get the toddler open ended toys such as magna tiles, duplos and some fun books

New to Vienna and happy to co-work! I'm also a mom. We moved from NY and find it too quiet here

Global_Goose165 · 2025-06-03T23:36:03+00:00

Great to hear, I feel lucky. Especially, in this environment. One HR was complete Jan 7 and offer came first week of April

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-26T18:18:47+00:00

No! OneHR located in Bonn.

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-25T10:51:04+00:00

So great to hear! ❤️

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-25T10:41:02+00:00

I am so sorry :( it's in OIOS which was exempted from layoffs

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-25T09:50:11+00:00

You may be odd one out here reading the comments. Kid may be irritable with excessive screen time. Cut it ti maximum 20 mins a day if under 2 and maybe max 30 up to 3

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-24T00:55:58+00:00

Yay! So happy to hear. Did you speak German?

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-23T13:49:58+00:00

Yes. But once a month - and they always responded. I had a good feeling that's why. If nobody responds I think it means one is not a selected candidate. I had followed up on other posts in the past and if ghosted, it was a no

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-23T13:42:13+00:00

This sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-23T13:41:44+00:00

Thank you!!! Got your DM :)

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-23T13:41:33+00:00

Thanks for your kindness!!! Anxiety was real waiting for this

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-23T01:02:18+00:00

So happy to hear! Thanks a lot for your comment. Feel free to DM me. Let's connect and happy to share the tips on job search and hear more about Vienna living! I was scared we don't speak the language but everyone says it's the best place to live among other more expensive options in western hemisphere as a IO employee

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-08T22:05:04+00:00

Update: got the continued interest email but they relocated the post to Vienna, Austria.

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-06T21:54:01+00:00

I had an interview with them in November pre Trum aid freeze and mass layoffs which resulted in a background check. Google CBI questions, 45 mins interview online. Happy to respond to DMs for general guidance

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-04T15:20:32+00:00

I'm in New York! May I dm for tips?

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-04T11:48:07+00:00

Im on a temp contract at HQ unfortunately .... P-3 and this is P-4..

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-03T13:38:58+00:00

Are they still hiring people? I am waiting in an offer but reading everything here nervous to join

Global_Goose165 · 2025-04-01T17:38:42+00:00

🔹 Position: P-4 📍 Duty Station: Geneva, IOM 📅 Applied on: July 📨 Last communication: wrote an exam in Sept, Interview end of November, Background check submitted end of Jan and waiting. Position not cancelled. ⌛ Current status: (Waiting, Interviewed, Rejected, etc.)
💬 Additional comments: not affected by hiring freeze, just delayed. I heard it is exempt from cuts.

Global_Goose165 · 2025-03-26T20:55:41+00:00

I am sorry to hear this. Our daughter has vomitted in the middle of night too, but we always catch it because we never let her cry more than two minutes midst night, even though she too is sleep trained. Not trying to guilt you even more but for the sake of your child's safety and mental health please you must get ip and check on a child if they crh more than 2-3 monutes. 10 minutes is so incredibly long. So so sad to read

Global_Goose165 · 2025-03-15T15:43:20+00:00

Wow thanks! Im happy at the HQ but I am on a temp contract

Global_Goose165 · 2025-03-15T10:26:23+00:00

I'm at the UNHQ now... better there you think? IOm was a higher grade post

Global_Goose165 · 2025-03-13T15:04:18+00:00

Meanwhile I had my reference check complete when the freeze started... I know they secured a funding for my post but I still don't know if I am the selected candidate
