I learned about the forum. There I had the opportunity to submit my CV for feedback. I spoke to a UNFPA HR professional. The discussion was fruitful, and he guided me on the way forward. This was my entry point to the UN.
A great saving of time and effort!
A few months later, I was contacted by the World Food Programme for a consultancy at their HQ in Rome – my first job and invaluable hands-on experience in the UN system.
