Pros

None - it was an awful process and two ladies interviewed who tell all candidates that aren’t from their country that they need more experience and look down at clothing if it isn’t casual like they are (eg wearing a more formal dress for interview)

Cons

- discriminatory approach to recruitment, asked me many personal questions about private life - had already hired for one position (deadline end of week and by next week they had already filled the position). - for another position, they claimed it is lack of experience, but it is not the reason. - the process of recruitment is a waste of time as mostly internal or those of the country are hired but they don’t want to look bad so they just tick boxes to look good

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
