For anyone who's interested in getting a job working for the UN, and in any of their related departments, this is my gift to you:

http://unjobs.org/

If you've ever spent hours wading through .govs and .orgs, trying navigate to their vacancy pages, and getting redirected to general drop-your-resume-in-the-box employment filters, this site will shine like gold.

Try typing in "intern" or "internship" etc, into the search bar at the top-- this can help you find something you might be eligible at this point in time.

But also, it's a great way to look through the sorts of positions you may be interested in taking on later, after graduating and getting more experience. These postings might help you get an idea of what sort of qualifications are expected, and what roles you might find yourself taking on...

Happy Monday
