Extractions: Last updated January 22, 2003 This Fact Sheet is intended to answer questions concerning employment opportunities and procedures with the United Nations (UN), its affiliated agencies, and other international organizations. It provides information on ways the Department of State and other Federal agencies assist Americans interested in such employment and includes a list of addresses for many of the international organizations. The U.S. Government encourages qualified U.S. citizens to consider employment opportunities with the UN and other international organizations. While pursuing a rewarding work experience, such international civil servants also impart to their chosen organizations their standards of integrity, competence, efficiency and dedication to the needs of the world community. The U.S. Department of State assists Americans interested in such employment opportunities and promotes American representation in these agencies. The Secretariats of the UN and its affiliated agencies hire career, project, and short-term employees to carry out their ongoing functions. Like other institutions, they have a continuing need for competent staff in numerous professional fields. Most UN employees are experts in their field, have extensive technical experience, hold a minimum of a masters degree, are fluent in at least one of the official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish) and have a strong working knowledge of at least one other. To attract and hire such individuals, the UN and other international organizations have their own personnel departments that publicize vacant positions, and evaluate and hire applicants.
