macnino399: So here's response to your questions... 1) minimum of a bachelor's degree or HND will do, plus 2 years work experience, easiest way is to join as an intern or a UNV. 2) Most times, age does not count when recruiting for the UN. 3) UN pay scale is standardized according to the international civil service standard, so your salary/benefits is in accordance with your grade as at when you get recruited. You get exposed to training, learning and development opportunities both internally and externally. People posted to hardship duty station (conflict zones) are always not accompanied by family & loved ones, and so you get a little extra pay for the inconveniences of staying away for extended periods from your family, and also danger pay cos you are working in a dangerous location where things can go sour at a flick. People posted to relatively stable location don't get these extra allowances. You get feild allowances when you go to the feild & the feild allowance is dependent on the location. In some UN agencies, You are expected to cater for your accomodation, transport, feeding, laundry, from the feild allowances. 5 Likes 1 Share |

my brother, such question is not really necessary. Believe me Nigérians are very good people irrespective of the tribe and religion, and are always ready to help. I have been working with the UN too since 2010 and I got the job through a Nigerian I never knew ab initio. Again, please stop such negative energy. ohosi4real: 11 Likes |

Emmzy201: Yes, photographers work mostly with communication and advocacy section, but on project basis.......you do a project, submit your deliverables & get paid....that's it. In summary, more of a contract or consultancy basis. 1 Like |

Note: Anyone can work with the UN even without formal éducation. Early last year, the UN Was recruiting Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo speakers ( even those without certificate) and the duty post was Canada. just be visiting UNjobs.org to see the latest jobs. Emmzy201: 3 Likes |

Great thread . thanks for this. Does creating a profile on inspira and applying really work? What other options are available? What other general requirements or processes do we need that aren't part of the typical job search process Nigerians are used to? Can someone who doesn't know influential people or isn't refered still get a job there? With no powerful referees. 1 Like |

amaks: U don't need any influential or powerful referee to get a job in the UN, I never had any referrals nor powerful referees infact one of my references was my colleague in my former place of work, not a senior officer or manager @ that....we were both on same grade (field officers)..... let's always try to realize that UN is not Nigerian civil service where you need to have a Godfather somewhere....rather channel your energy to stepping up your resume, work experience and get ready for the recruitment job test/interview....cos you are competing with the best of the best......tailor your job search with targeted keywords related to your profession.....eg....if you are an economist, you can tailor your job search buy using keywords such as Economist Economic Analyst Social policy Polictical Analyst Economic researcher Anything economist..........that way you stream line your job search engine to return dedicated results for the field economist. 7 Likes |

You can get a job with the UN or any organization irrespective of your course of study. What counts is your experience and skill set. It is practically impossible to enter the UN or any international organization straight away without any prior experience in the NGO sector except for positions that require professionals in other fields e.g. Engineers, Security Experts, Public Health Specialists etc. What is advisable is for you to work through the ranks by starting out with smaller organizations to build your skills and garner the necessary experience...Another channel is to volunteer with them... One thing I know is that for every opening, they give preferences to their former staff. It is only in select cases they recruit from outside and here, your performance in the interview is key...If you have the necessary experience and skills, it is easier when you have someone to help you in. 1 Like |
