Congrats on being “long listed” that’s a good first step! What really happens now is hard to estimate. The long list may be very long and it may take quite a few weeks to get to a short list. BUT on the other hand, yes, it could be that you have not been short-listed. In that case yes the status will likely stay as it is until the process is completed. In any case – good luck!

Hi Sebastian,

Just found your website. It is so impressive, you are really awesome! May I ask a question regarding my recent application to UN? Hope to get your comments based on your knowledge and experiences shown on this website.

I have been listed as “long-listed” for a couple of weeks on their website. Based on your experiences, you think that they are short-listing other applicants and they just wait for right applicant signs the employment contract and then change my status to “reject”, or I will be still possibly short listed and get further opportunity?

Thanks!
Nancy

Thanks.

Hi Zazou,

sorry, I’m not quite sure about that myself (keep in mind this is a hobby and I’m not in any official function hosting this website). But please do let me know if you find out, so that we can share the knowledge with others, too. Thanks!

Dear Sebastian
Quite impressive the work and your efforts to bring some light in this impossible mess of HR and categories/steps/grades… non ending!
However, there is still the shadow of the DPKO conditions and status. Could you clarify me what kind of conditions have the staff of DPKO? are they equal to volunteers of UNV? and what are exactly the common rules for the volunteers?
Thank you so much,
Zazou
