Does a career with the UN pay well? Is it difficult to become employed by them even if you ar qualified?

Absolutely it pays well.  You just have to get your payments indirectly through your son selling the extra oil given to him by Saddam through the Oil for Food program.\n\nYou will make millions.  And as another poster stated make sure you put on your resume how much you despise the US and Israel and will work hard for their destruction!  Better put that in your Objective.  You will be hired in no time.

The UN system has two types of employees -- the General Services staff and the Professional Staff.\n\nThe GS level staff are the assistants, secretaries, and other low level employees. A bachelors degree is needed.\n\nThe PS staff mostly have graduate degrees. Masters degree is required, though PhD is even better. Becoming a PS staff is very competitive. Knowing another language is often an advantage.\n\nYou're 18. If you want to join and be a UN staff, study hard and get your degrees.

The United Nations is weak, indeed. The weakness of the organization stems from the widespread corruption throughout its ranks.\n\nMany of the UN's poorer members (as well as many of its socialist members) view it as an opportunity for wealth redistribution. Take a look at the amount of money contributed by each member nation versus the benefits received by each member nation. I am not saying that helping poorer countries is bad. Indeed, every nation should help out as much as they can. However, help should be voluntary and not forced through the United Nations.\n\nMany top individuals are corrupt, including the Secretary General. If you think the US government is corrupt regarding some of the defense no-bid contracts, you should look up what goes on in the United Nations. Not only are no-bid contracts common, NOBODY can summon the records. When an investigation becomes necessary, it is always conducted by UN members who find no wrongdoing. The company that Kofi Annan's son works for received numerous such contracts.\n\nThese are things that I certainly DO NOT want my tax dollars paying for.\n\nNOTE FOR EMILYROSE: An organization for peace is certainly a worthy goal. But when diplomatic options have failed, the UN has shown in recent history that they have nothing to back up their resolutions. Iraq thumbed its nose at the UN for a decade before something was done - and it wasn't the UN that did it. Countless resolutions regarding the Palestinian state and Israel have been passed (some for and some against each state). Each government laughs them off. Iran is now thumbing its nose at the UN. We'll see what happens. If the United Nations is not willing to go to war to back up the resolutions of the international community, they should disband and all go home because nothing will ever get accomplished. Kind of like what is happening now.

Yes, the UN does have limited legal personality (Reparations Case) as functional neccessity requires. It it not a State, but has standing to bring a claim against sovereign States.

Perhaps write to the United Nations in New York & ask your question.\n\nGood luck with your good work.

Just let them know when you go in for the interview and it shouldn't be a problem.I would say you ll have to train and maybe go to rural academy for 2 weeks for training I had to but it was fun and you do learn alot.It is good pay but for a sub it is a terrible job.No benefits and no life cause you cannot plan nothing because you have to be kinda like on call its awfull I have done it for 4 yrs now and I hate it the only reason I stay is the money and I'm planning on getting out here soon.Subs are in a very high demand because it offers NOTHING..

It is very difficult.  Generally, diplomatic positions are given to people as a patronage job.  You are expected to have a very intricate knowledge of the country and its political positions, and have to pass a number of background checks by the government.

Unfortunately, there is steep competition for the good paying easy jobs, or they aren't good paying, or easy...\n\nThink about working for the government.  Union influence is so strong in some government positions, that you can benefit nearly to the point of corruption.\n\nThe union will defend an employees' laziness, incompetence, and inadequacy as long as possible.  And those types of positions will pay much more than the light workload suggests.\n\nThese jobs provide an enviroment that is wonderful for someone who is actually skilled and works diligently.  Pay is good to great, and the benefits are amazing.

yes english and spanish can get you a UN job. But French will give you advantage over spanish as it french is the second preferred language at UN!

depends what field and if you're actually eligible to work over here.\n\nDont worry though, if not just claim assylum and you'll be given a house and a weekly income to live on while tax payers like me are raped for the privilage!

I imagine many people have already mentioned the possibility of working for a governmental agency.  I would like to suggest to you the pursuit of employment and quite possibly a career in International Development with one of the many NGOs working in your region.  Your specialization in geography as it relates to civilization, humanity and population could be of great service to agencies that work in the areas of education, environment and relief on behalf of the less fortunate. \nSee the following NGO directories:\n\nhttp://edugreen.teri.res.in/explore/ngos.htm\nhttp://www.unchs.org/unchs/english/ngos/prof1.htm\n\nGood Luck in Your Endeavors!

I might be able to help you out but really need more information.\n\nSuch as, why do you state that you would be unsuitable for a field job?\n\nI have a good friend who got his BS Eng [civil] with only average grades. He went into waste disposal - 30 years later he is honored in his professional field, has met the needs of a rapidly growing city, is well paid, and has a fantastic benefits package.\n\nHe has always had work. Sure, his job is not glamorous, but it is essential to the city and he has become the director of the entire operation.

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

It is not good. You should remain in your own country and serve there.If you are in some other country, doing job, you should remember that you should be seen as a second class citizen.\n You can move with head high if you are in your own country while this will not be the case if you are away from your nation.\n So always remember that your country needs you always and you should work here only.
