UN jobs FAQ
How do I apply for UN jobs?
Applications go through each organization's own careers portal, such as Inspira for the UN Secretariat or the UNICEF and UNDP careers sites. Open the job on For9a and follow the official application link.
Does the UN charge fees to apply?
No. The United Nations never charges a fee at any stage of recruitment. Anyone asking for money in exchange for a UN job is running a scam.
Do I need English or French?
English and French are the working languages of the UN Secretariat. Arabic is an advantage for many roles, especially in offices across the Arab region.
How are the jobs on this page chosen?
The For9a team picks them from official vacancy announcements of the UN and its agencies, and each job is removed automatically once its deadline passes.
