I want to work for the United Nations

It’s fair to say that the UN is not the easiest place to find a job, and finding accurate information on how to do so can be just as tricky.

To help you with your search – be it for permanent employment, employment as a consultant, internships or volunteering, the YPN has produced a guide to try to answer as many of your questions as possible:

• YPN guide to careers at the United Nations [pdf]

We have also interviewed a number of young professionals with experience of working in the UN system:
