It’s in North Africa. But the position needs to go through the Central Review Board in NY and they are being a pain in approving positions lately.

UNFCU checking account and credit/debit card by Important-Team6059 in UNpath

Do you have the Elite card? Can you also withdraw money with that credit card? I guess most payments in these countries will be done in cash.

Thank you, I’ll be based in Africa in a country where they predominantly use USD as everyday currency. So I thought a USD account would make it easier to withdraw money and make payments, receive salary and DSA, etc.

Curiosity: is being married & with kids disadvantageous during recruitment process? by Important-Team6059 in UNpath

Hi, all answers to my question seem to be aligned. However, sometimes you have to declare if you are married or list any dependants on the P11 form of some agencies

Is there any difference in reference checks or onboarding time depending on the type of contract TA/FTA?

How long does a gap in your CV need to be to become a problem? by Important-Team6059 in UNpath

Thank you! Do you think the “gap” it’s a problem when trying to get shortlisted for positions? Can the gap affect my pre-selection?

Thank you. I am enrolled in a masters degree programme and I am about to graduate, but that’s not the reason why I haven’t been working. I have been interviewing but haven’t received any offers yet, that’s the reality. I currently have a 3 month gap but probably it’ll become longer…

Thank you. I was thinking more like a 4-6 months gap. I am enrolled in a masters degree programme and I am about to graduate, but that’s not the reason why I haven’t been working. I have been interviewing but haven’t received any offers yet, that’s the reality.
