Mnopq: There are definitely roles you can fit in and you can apply for more than one role/job. However, like I have stated severally, it is really beyond your first degree for a lot of positions. Ideally, your first degree is adequate. However, the ideal does not always play out in reality. If you are interested in sending in your application for a particular role, what guarantees you the invite for test or job is not if your first degree qualifies you; it is more dependent on what value can you offer which is usually perceived through what value have you offered previously. Note: You do not need to have a job to be perceived as a person of value. Value is your ablity to make use of the little resources @ your disposal, starting from where you are, and independently taking initiative @ being innovative doing little things with resultant positive output which are measurable. I hope this helps 1 Like |

mayprince: Hmmmm. You're talking about the next phase which has started being implemented in the UN. We are already tending towards ensuring that industrial activities of all third party service providers engaged by some UN agencies does not impact negatively on the environment. As such, some agencies now request service providers to present evidences or other industry specific certifications which authenticates that their activities are compliant with Sustainable Business Models for that particular industry. As such if a company can not convince such agencies that their activities are sustainable and do not impact negatively on the environment, chances of engagement with the UN is reduced significantly. This, I am aware of. So, what extactly is your role? Do you engage companies and help them to come up with Sustainable Business Models? If yes, which industry? If no, expatiate how you come into play here. |

ceeceeuwa: Ok. Value is extensive and its expression can not be clearly defined as it varies depending on individual circumstances. Since our circumstances are different, therefore the way we go about adding value to ourselves will definitely be different. Generally, it is more about going beyond what is being expected of you at any particular time and taking the initiative to deliver much more than you were asked or paid to do. Now this plays out differently for different people based on different circumstances. When you stretch yourself beyond your present capacity (intellectually, physically), the immediate results you get are negligible compared with massive results that await you because you will be percieved as a person of great value when a bigger opportunity beckons. This is when preparation meets opportunity because most people are too lazy to stretch themselves beyond what their employers expect them to do, you easily stand out from the crowd as you've gone through an unusual route which is hard to find in a crowd of jobseekers. I will still find time to highlight my journey in this regard as the thread progresses 2 Likes |

mayprince: Okay. What I see play out in most instances in your situation and other related ones, is what I have explained to a poster here. 1. The coy you work with may be engaged by the UN to carry out these assessments for some service providers being contemplated to be awarded certain contracts 2. In some instances, the UN has outsourced activity 1 above to a 2nd party (usually a certification body, and not private establishments) to conduct these assessments on its behalf. As such, the certification bodies need independent auditors equipped with the required training, experience, certifications and technical capacity and this is what may be applicable to you as an individual. Few months ago, one of such certification bodies in Europe (in contract with the UN) needed the services of an an auditor in the health industry, to audit (conduct technical assessment of) a particular Nigerian company for something like this, (although not sustainability). They could not travel to Nigeria for the assessment due to the pandemic and also to minimize cost expended. Instead, they searched and found the profile of a Nigerian online, conducted their background check and eventually engaged him for the service. Needless to say what currency payment was made in. This is a tangible route you can explore if you are creative enough to package yourself as such, since you have the requisite training, skills and experience. Like I always tell my mentees, "create your own opportunities; dont wait for the UN to create one for you". The opportunity you create has the potential of being utilized by the UN (or other international agencies) directly or indirectly. 1 Like |
