After applying internship how we will know about application is seen or not
Hey! I have a few questions Lamia that I would be so grateful for answers to if possible?
- [ ] Once you get an internship at the UN, how much easier is it to secure a job afterwards?
- [ ] When the requirements say: must have studied something like international relations: is it enough that I studied Asian & Middle Eastern Studies *inc middle eastern politics in my final year?
- [ ] Is a law conversion eg SQE recognised as a ‘master degree or equivalent’ by the UN?
- [ ] What is the UN job application process like? Do they value previous experience or is it behaviour-based?
- [ ] If I am enrolled to study law but have deferred - do I count as a student?
- [ ] Is the best way into the UN through an internship?
Ma'am thank you for the information,
i have some questions does UN ALSO TAKE A EXAM before the Interview??
Hi Punam, please check out the other videos in my Interning at the UN series.
How does someone get help from unicef for basic needs
Hey dear Lamia, how long before is it best to apply for an internship ? I want one starting May, when shall I start applying ?
Hey Dima, I'd say to go ahead and apply for any internships you deem suitable as early as now because:
1) The application process can take a long time
2) Usually you'll be asked about your availability (immediately, after one month etc) on the application/interview
3) Education considerations are often made for interns - sometimes this means working around class times or internships specifically during university breaks.
Best of luck!
Awesome video Lamia.🤩I have some few questions though...1.Can a current undergraduate student get the unicef internship that is like a second year student?
2.For instance you live in Kenya and you apply for a unicef internship programme in Dar-es-salaam,Tanzania...will unicef cater for your transport and accomodation to Tanzania?
3.Also how much do they pay one for the internship?
Hi there! (Love your username btw!) You can find answers to some of your questions here: www.unicef.org/careers/frequently-asked-questions-internships and you can also send an email to internship@unicef.org if you're still uncertain about something. Hope that helps, wishing you the best of luck!
How long did they take to give you feedback after the interview. ?
Ma'am what kind of questions was asked??
Thats nice...i m English lecturer and finding better opportunity in these projects.
Woow! Thank you so much! I was feeling that I am lonely in my journey, but I am glad to see likeminded and focused people!
I wonder, how are you doing after internships that you have finished? Just in my experience, I worked in a government job, some time an an academia, and I want to work in UN. But seems like they hire people with 5+ years of work experience, with masters degree, but I have only 1+ years of experience and bachelor's degree.
I am not going to be employed in UN anytime soon, but I want to do an internship at the un-related international organizations. The durations typically from 3-6 months. So I wonder, should I consider this internship opportunity as a valuable tool for making connections, and trying to get the job from UN/UN-related international organizations? Or it is just the good experience without practical meaning? (Basically you are working for free, they don't guarantee anything, which means is they just going to use our time/expertise)?
I am just confused, should I really consider un internships as a good option, or I should consider better opportunities? (Which might give me more practical skills, and expertise, or with good career prospects)
Anyways! Thank you so much! Stay happy and healthy! This is really shaky and turbulent times, wish you internal strenght, and take care!✌
what bachelor did you study? I'm in the middle of changing major and your career ambitions are quite similar to mine :)
i am so motivated to be part of. So plz make an french sub-titre for having more and more listener s
Merci pour la suggestion, j'essayerai d'obtenir des traductions bientôt, mais maintenant, tu peux essayer d'utiliser des traductions auto sur CZcams.
oui oui, je comprends bien les explications et je nous souhaite beaucoup de sucès. Maintenant si on voulait vous contacter out of the youtube chain how can we do ? Do you permit that ? If that's possible please i need help@@LamiaFarah

Hello Lamia! Its so funny how I'm currently in the process concluding my application with unicef for social media marketing internship.
I'm currently struggling with my cover letter for the application and i thought i should check online for some direction and i found yours.
Can you drop some personal advise?? Anything at all that can help. Thank youuu.
