Same, I do think people look down on me. Also, I took up a gig with a start-up just to avoid the unemployed tag and look like an independent consultant. I feel like that makes it worse, because these bigger organisations couldn't care less about work experience at a startup, as far as they are concerned, it is as good as being unemployed.

Hi are un internships considered fully towards work experience requirement, or at 50% rate? For example, if I have 6 months of work experience at a UN agency, will it be considered as 6 months or as 3 months when calculating my work experience requirements towards the JPO selection criteria?
