Careers Week: Careers in the UN
17 May 2021, 3:30 pm–4:30 pm
The UN is notoriously popular as a target destination for many of our graduates. It’s also notoriously difficult to get into. In this session, UCL Careers Consultant Penny Longman provides a detailed insight into the UN funds, programmes and specialised agencies and looks at different routes into some of the agencies. The session will also cover required skills and experience, tips for writing an outstanding application, what you can do to build up relevant experience and general advice on building a successful career within an international organisation.
This event is free.
