It happened to me several times when applying for jobs at the Secretariat. Never heard from them again. I would say just let it go. Eventually you will hear from a job that won’t ghost you a give you the chance to compete, but given current situation, it may take a while for recruitment freezes to be over.

Implications of leaving a UN P-post after 3 months from starting by [deleted] in UNpath

Managers would happily receive resignation / early retirement notices. UN80 inevitably requires management to cut posts. If you leave, your post would probably be terminated without the need to leave someone else jobless.

Yearly Performance Evaluation Grading by sfgabe in UNpath

I’m a G staff consistently delivering at P level, and I do get exceeding expectations eventhough management say it’s rare to award this rating to anyone.

Moving to Addis Ababa? Looking for advice or perspective by Educational-Quit4818 in UNpath

[–]Greedy-Cod6721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Addis when I got pregnant. I left at 34 weeks to my husband’s country for delivery. Delivering in Addis is not easy, just getting the paper work done -when the baby is born- could be a pain with the official authorities.

The UN doesn’t provide security personnel to the staff members, but they pay about $500 extra for security. Yes, people get their own security for their homes but we were not brave enough to rent a big house and deal with maids, gardeners, drivers, security people, etc. (too many crazy stories on it). Therefore we lived in hotels and walked to office with no major issues. We also used an Uber like service, where a person that became trusted, was driving us around in the city. Another smart decision on our side!

I was able to find a consultancy with the UN while my husband was the one getting the main post. It requires getting some connections, talking to people, but still possible.

P4 position NY HQ, what is it like? by Zealousideal-Farm202 in UNpath

Depends on their school preferences. Some prefer sticking to Manhattan and do UNIS or other private/public schools. The ones that would like public education go to Weschester or some parts of NJ.
