The pay is good and you probably won't need a visa to travel.

how do you guys make empty post on Nairaland?

Well, as for the topic. Working in the UN is quite juicy and more juicy depending on the level and department that you are in.

You might be attached to a department that requires traveling often and that's when you enjoy the job the most.
You will be given travel allowance, paid flight, feeding and accommodation in good hotels and sitting allowance for meetings.

The only issue is this, you might not get the sitting allowance immediately. It could be after 3 months.
But within that 3 months, you might have attended about 5 meetings. And then you would be paid a lump sum.

You will also have access to tea anytime you feel like grin
na the tea part na him sweet me pass

Careers with the UN are broadly classified as international development. Its a very difficult sector to break into but you can follow this link to get started: https://datavillegroup.com/id-ebook/

Adding to this, you have to obtain a degree in International Development Studies or International Relations to have a chance.

try smaller agency if you cannot get the big one. This was many years back, trying to remember the name but its headquarters was in the UK. It was when they sent me to Darfur, I had other plans going on and I opted out.

I have never worked in the U.N so I don't know what to say about it..
Re: What Do You Think About Working In The UN by Nobody: 9:46pm On May 22, 2021
Extremely competitive. You need to be a specialist in your area. That's UN all over the world. But in Nigeria as usual you need to know someone that knows someone etc.

Working with UN is a dream of all we humanitarian worker... The pay is good and grow rate is very high as well. However, u need to understand that you're a contract staff and renewal of your contract depend on donor fund and your performance.

I wanted to provide my input based on firsthand information I have as a UN staff for several years. However, I see a lot of misleading comments on this thread which made me weary in providing my input as I do not want my accurate analysis diluted in a crowd of several posts which are either half-truths or not entirely true.

To enjoy my most craved anonymousity, I have used my alternate monicker to create a thread which answers all your questions about working with the UN.
