UNICEF jobs back on the UN Job List

This is a quick note to let you know that the UNICEF job vacancies are back online on the UN Job List. Please have a look at the vacancies and apply if you are qualified.

I want to particularly thank the colleagues at UNICEF very much for their support in getting the vacancies back on the UN Job List.

UN Jobs back on the UN Job List

Good news, today I managed to fix the UN jobs on the UN Job List. That i.e. I added the Inspira Career Portal to the UN Job List. However, the transition seems to still be in full swing and at present there are not that many jobs in Inspira.

So let’s keep an eye on the situation. If you find departments which are not on the UN Job List yet, please leave a comment and I will fix the these departments, too.

Thanks for your help!

New career portal at the UN – UN jobs currently not online

You may be aware of the fact that the UN is closing Galaxy these days and shifts over to the new UN career portal.

Unfortunately that affects my robots for the UN jobs. So I will have to adjust my robots to include the new career portal and hope that I will be able to do that in the coming days. For the time being, please be patient with the UN Job List. Thanks a lot!

UNOPS jobs back up on the UN Job List

Hello together,

good news, I finally found the time to work through the inner workings of the UNOPS vacancy system and now the UNOPS vacancies are back up on the UN Job List again. Also, thanks a lot to my colleagues in UNOPS for their great support!

E-mail capacity issues on the UN Job List are fixed now

The incredible success of the UN Job List e-mail alert is the reason why newly signed-up alerts currently don’t receive e-mails. The site simply exceeded my current e-mail sending capacity and I need to adjust some back-end setting of the UN Job List.

I think that I will be able to resolve this issue over the next few days but please bear with me for the time being.

Also, this serves as a reminder for all of you who don’t need your e-mail alert any longer: Please sign-out if you don’t need the alert anymore or if you change your e-mail address. To do that, there is a link in every alert e-mail. Just click this and your signed out with one click.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Sebastian

UPDATE: It’s all fixed for now.

New UNFPA jobs – UNICEF, UNOPS still pending

Hello together,

tonight I fixed the UNFPA job robot. So check out the UNFPA jobs - they have a few posts open now so have a look!
I would like to draw your attention to the AccessRH vacancies that are offered in Copenhagen and New York now.
I still have a few items to fix on the UN Job List: Currently the UNICEF and UNOPS vacancies are not working well.

Which UN organisation is hiring? The 2009 UN Job List Statistics

It is a good yearly tradition to look back and reflect on where UN vacancies are coming from so after the 2007, 2008 here the statistics, for 2009

The results are not surprising. The top three organisations are still UNDP, WHO and UNOPS. For further details have a look at the UN Job List Resource Page where you can see what the last three days look like, how 2010 is building up and of course review the data from 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Lastly, the usual disclaimer applies: The data you see is a collection of vacancies posted and collected with the UN Job List. Thus the data can in no way be an accurate estimation of how many posts an organisation actually fills.

Fixed ICAO jobs on the UN Job List

Hello together,

I had a bit of time and got around adressing some of the long list of things to fix on the UN Job List. Today I fixed the ICAO Jobs.

I’m trying to get around to the other item, too. If you find an organisation that needs to be fixed and it is not on my list yet, please let me know via a comment, below. Thanks!

The Kopernik – a great fresh way of looking at development

I recently came across a new idea in the development arena which is trying innovative ways to challenge development issues.

Here is The Kopernik:

Kopernik is an on-line store of innovative technologies designed for the developing world that also provides crowd-funded financial subsidies. Through an on-line platform, Kopernik allows the most progressive technologies to reach poor people in developing countries. The goal is to accelerate development through ‘leapfrogging’ or skipping inferior, less-efficient technologies and practices and moving directly to more advanced ones.

Kopernik show-cases innovative products (such as solar powered products and water purification devices) and thereby provides a menu of options accessible to local organizations in developing countries. The organizations then develop short proposals explaining how they can utilize the products to overcome development challenges and impediments to growth. The public in turn funds the most promising proposals in order to make them a reality.

If you ever experienced what cell phones achieved in Africa, you know what these guys are talking about. I’m looking very forward to seeing and hearing more from the Kopernik.

Updated backend software should speed-up the UN Job List

I received complaints about the speed of the UN Job List being too sluggish lately. I did some tweaks in the background and hope that the site is running faster now. Please let me know if you experience any delays and I will try further optimisation of the site.
