Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Whosoever is willing or want to pursue job in UNDP esp in Uttarakhand for them its my humble, Don't join this organisation. It is one of the most unprofessional organization. You will face many problems esp salary not getting on time, TA and DA neglected, we had to wait atleast 6 months for our salary. The staff of UNDP is not supporting and they don't even bother about your problems. The contractual job of UNDP is totally unpredictable, they can dissolve their contract as per their choice. Totally waste of time and energy in working with UNDP. Its better to join small organization where your work is respected and appreciated. So whosoever thinking to join UNDP please take your decision wisely.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Ensure your CV and cover letter are clean and professional. It's best if your responses during the interview are to the point. All UN agencies are extremely systematic in their hiring process. The panel interviews are time-bound and so it would work well for you if you know what to answer. As a candidate, you will also be encouraged to ask the panel a few questions/doubts.

There's a lot of learning with UN and I wish everyone seeking career with UN the very best!
