Eye opening analysis. I was 40 when I joined the UN and it took me more than five years to get to the P category. One more thing. The UN recruit people, who did (almost) exactly the same job somewhere else. Many people believe "I could do this and that for the UN". That almost never works as there are hundreds of others with relevant experience. Be pretty good at something and you may get a chance. Do not be sad if you do not succeed. Working for the UN is not always what you are dreaming about.

Thanks a lot, Hippy in A Suit for the well-rounded UN demographic data. It gives one a panoramic picture and understanding of UN human statistics. You can also consider factoring in UN statistics related to academic levels like Diploma, Associate Degree, Bachelors, Masters, PhD and so on.

First off all, thanks for the video!
I think your channel have a very special role, specialy when we are trying to thing about the crises that the World is facing right now !
I was thinking about the nationality topic. I think there's much more english speaking countries than other languages. If we go deeper, as in the gender, maybe nationality (or race?) can act in a different way.

If you actually look at the demographics, you will find that women usually pause or stop their careers at some point for family issues or to start a family. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but just simple ground truth.

I have submitted several applications in the general services category. It's been over a year and my application status on two has remained under consideration, while another was filled with out an offer for an interview providing equal consideration amongst other eligible candidates. I have come to realize that the odds of obtaining employment with the UN is pretty much like playing the lottery. But it never hurts to try. It's like they say "you have got to be in it, to win it". Good luck.

Thanks a lot! Finally I found an English native speaker, whom I understand without any efforts. Very eloquent and at the same time very easy to follow every single word. :)

[krystlevanhoof]

Thank you so much for your videos! So informative and helpful! I was surprised to learn that the average entry age is 43. I was curious whether you have a sense of how possible or not it is for a senior professional to be hired into a more-or-less lateral position within the UN or whether one has to work up within the system (and, if so, what level position would be reasonable to apply for?) In my case, I do have a year of field work as a consultant several years ago but it's been a slog of no call backs so wondering if I'm aiming too high. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

Hi there and thanks for your very elaborate video. Upon checking some UN staff statistics and IOM ads that list first tier countries (the list of underrepresented ones) i noticed that there are countries like latvia and montenegro that have 2 and 3 employees, respectively. While Slovenia that is also represented with 2 employees, is not on the list. Do you know why is this the case? I am from Slovenia and when I started applying for IOM jobs about 10 years ago, my country was on the first tier list of countries. I was puzzled by it and wanted to know the reason behind it. Many thanks, Nadim
