To become a full-time staff member of the United Nations, you must have considerable experience working in international organizations and volunteer missions. Well, and, of course, the corresponding education.
Instruction manual
1
Get an education in one of the humanitarian specialties (jurisprudence, economics, sociology, social work, etc.). This does not mean that technical specialties and exact sciences are not in demand at the UN. Just knowing the laws and having the skills to work with people, you can adapt to the service at the United Nations much faster.

Check out the size of quotas allocated to citizens of Russia and CIS countries next year. To do this, you will need to go to the Russian-language website of the UN - http://www.un.org/en. Please note: quotas provided for our compatriots are always exceeded. However, applying for a job is still worth it. It is possible that your level of education and personal experience will interest some of the coordinators of organizations within the UN structure.

If you live in a region where the UN does not yet exist or where volunteer assistance is required, then you can become an employee of this organization, almost without leaving home. Contact your local administration and find out how you can get started in accordance with the UN Charter. Find out on what conditions control over your activities will be exercised, and most importantly, what exactly it will consist of.

If you decide to join the UN Volunteer Mission, operating in disadvantaged regions of the world, your work may include assisting victims of natural disasters, teaching children how to read, and counseling services. That is why, before taking a job at the UN, get ready to test the knowledge of the language of the country where you want to go. The test program may also include questions regarding aspects of international law and the code of laws of the state in which you intend to work.
