|
Posted By: Hija Chang on October 04, 2025 Tips for Cultivating Your UN Career It’s no surprise, then, that many young people who are thinking about careers in sustainability dream of getting hired at the United Nations. However, it’s not quite as easy to know how to stand out in the competitive and challenging field of fellow dreamers and applicants. Written by Katie Boyle We’re here to give you 3 simple tips about how to get a job at the UN. 1. Craft a CV that includes a related master’s degree As you craft your CV, it’s important to think about what your educational background says about your interests and skills. While the UN does offer some internship programs and volunteer programs that are open to candidates with just a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree is a crucial ingredient for most people who are looking for consultancies or international staff positions with the United Nations. A master’s degree, especially if it is in a valuable or pertinent field, is another way to indicate that you are serious about the work of international governance and that you will have the skills and insights to contribute in that role.
