      @illustrateWithMe  3 роки тому

      While I can't disclose much, it usually goes from a preliminary interview stage, to team interview, to a writing assessment and then another final interview depending on the role. The timeline may vary between 1-3 months based on the number of candidates they have and where you are based. Hope this helps!

I'd encourage you to read this document to get a better sense:docs.wfp.org/api/documents/WFP-0000104342/download/ (Hope this helps!)

    Thank you for such an informative video! I wanted to ask, will they consider a 3-year student in bachelor studies even though the requirement states that the minimum is "to be enrolled in the final year". I heard that not all requirements need to be satisfied to get the internship but not sure about this case. Also, once selected, did you have any difficulties with obtaining medical insurance? Once again, thank you!

    • @illustrateWithMe
      @illustrateWithMe  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching! If the J.D clearly states that you have to be in the final year, then getting selected as a third year would be quite tough! In terms of the medical insurance, that is something you'd have to get it from the country you reside in. It was quite straightforward for me! Hope this helps. Good luck!

    So what I have now is just a postdraduate diploma not a master's degree

      The internships at WFP are paid. However, they're paid enough to off-set the basic costs of living.

I am doing all this so as to get an internship with unescap, HQ in Bangkok! So can you just suggest me that how can I improve my resume so as to get an assured internship there! And also, tell me if it is worthy to get an internship at regional and sub regional offices of un as there are such in India, Delhi!!

      Hey! Kudos to you for following your dream! I'd say start getting as much experience as you can within the humanitarian field or the field which is your expertise. As I mention in the video, they're interested in what skills you can bring to the table, and what experience you have. Ofcourse, nothing ever is assured. However, I'd say try and get your foot in whichever office you can. It's easier to move around once you're in the system. Hope this helps :)

      Hey Kanchan, happy that you like the content! While you certainly can apply, I'd suggest getting some stronger academic experience. At this point, you might largely benefit from volunteering with UN agencies and forging those essential networks. I'd recommend, you checkout unv.org.
