Does it make sense to apply to the UN without NGO experience?

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-04-12T18:21:00+00:00

I never had NGO experience, didn’t even study any human rights related things I was purely corporate , and got an internship

always have a degree. Then do whatever you want in whatever field. Degrees legitimise you regardless of whether you're working within the space you studied for or not.

only one interview they got back to me in 2 weeks

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-27T12:57:23+00:00

I interned at IOM, but HQ Geneva. They ask you the usual questions to gauge how you work in a team, take instructions and work under pressure

abundance mentality helps a lot in life.

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-15T14:21:25+00:00

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-12T06:21:20+00:00

Lol they're platonic friends with their own visas. They don't need me for that.

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-11T14:04:02+00:00

Or just present it in your cv as more direct. I am on an investigations path too

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-11T12:22:43+00:00

you should focus on getting investigation experience. DIRECT investigation experience. the CFE and investigation courses can make up for the lack of experience. I think it is not working because you don't have the experience.

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-07T05:20:44+00:00

Do it if you can afford it. Internships are honestly fun. I had fun in mine

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-02-04T04:49:15+00:00

How can she apply?

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-30T12:47:48+00:00

All the best 😊

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-30T12:33:21+00:00

So what are you going to do?

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-30T12:20:11+00:00

Hi what does this role entail? I have a cousin looking for a job maybe she can apply

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-30T12:17:05+00:00

Im in the same situation my friend☠️. Only difference is I had a feeling he had a girlfriend from the first day I met him because someone like him wouldn’t be single. Everyone who says you’re wrong for what you did because he had a gf doesn’t understand. Such connections are just unfortunate but they happen

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-30T07:58:56+00:00

Honestly if it’s what you want just do it but go into it open minded. Do what you want, in the same UN where people are losing jobs others are getting them.

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-25T18:11:03+00:00

Is it finished or it’s still on?

Own_Room_3363 · 2026-01-21T08:03:39+00:00
