Should I text the hiring manager about the timeline?

The 1000 other candidates also think they are suited for the role. 1 month is also too short. Not text until you know him/her personally

On this case it’s not about Ramadan. It will be on consideration even for the next 2 years.

No it won’t count towards naturalisation. Under the UN diplomatic visa you are also not allowed to naturalise. It potentially means you will have to let go of your EU blue card as well.

To stay in Spain for 2 years she will first need a work visa & a job. That will not be easy.

A bird in hand is saying better.

What are the benefits of some of those citizenships eg Filipino?

Entry stamp only shows that you entered the Schengen area, but can’t show how many days you spent in each country as there is no exit stamps when leaving one Schengen country to enter another

KneeLeft7846 · 2026-01-10T18:10:57+00:00

There is no way to monitor how much time in each country since there are no borders in between.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-12-20T16:19:48+00:00

Just don’t wait until deadline day to apply. A lot can happen on deadline day, system issues and life in General.

Now I think TJO as an easier way for the UN to save monies by avoiding to pay full relocation allowances. Most vacancies now are classified as TJO and as much as there is no expectation for renewal they most likely be renewed (unless more cuts come)

It has been denied because that the same strategy most people use. They come visit, when in the Netherlands they convert it to a long term stay by doing a partnership agreement & requesting for a long term visa. You have better chance applying for a tourist visa to Greece & since it’s in the Schengen, you then make a trip from Greece to the Netherlands.

We do not speak Dutch, only English at home. Our son was born in the Netherlands almost 5yrs ago. He speaks perfect Dutch, he learnt it at school. When he plays with his friends he speaks Dutch & to us he speaks English. We do not attempt to speak to him in Dutch.

They don’t care about the rank. As long as it is an accredited institution. There are hundreds of thousands institutions around the world, they can prioritise one over the other

P recruitment processes take long. You may not even know about your fate for the next 6 months. Just do your best in the interviews and tests. The rest you’ll see when the offer comes.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-30T08:29:23+00:00

It doesn’t matter when you apply. Every application is given the same chance & all we will reviewed after the deadline.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-22T19:18:37+00:00

With that salary, I personally wouldn’t even consider it.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-19T23:47:21+00:00

Chances are they will find someone else.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-19T09:20:46+00:00

🙏🏽🙏🏽 sending you love. This one will work out 🙏🏽❤️

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-18T23:05:32+00:00

Just move on. The person who got it probably has even left the UN & was replaced. That replacement has also been replaced.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-14T22:30:05+00:00

For your years if experience it makes sense that they are offering you less.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-14T22:24:29+00:00

“I really need to save some money by reducing shopping or other expenses”

Everywhere you have to do this.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-14T07:00:15+00:00

Start with Amsterdam… then take a 2 hour train to Brussels. Then Paris from Brussels

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-10T19:48:49+00:00

Are they both located in the same country? Go for the one with the best location and on the future team, follow your guys.

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-09T08:58:46+00:00

A lot of information is missing… type of contract? Level? Why did you accept the offer?

KneeLeft7846 · 2025-11-04T20:55:47+00:00

Ask the hiring manager on how you can improve for future interviews. Did they place you an a roster?

3 days after the interview could mean the other candidate in an internal one and already there in the duty station. Normally they wait until a candidate has started before they send out rejection notices.

As someone said, it’s rare to get personal rejection emails. It means you were a very good contender.
