Posted on April 27, 2018 by Rottmair Sebastian · Leave a comment

Going into the weekend, I want to post this as a reminder for all of you:

Many jobs need UN experience. So how do you gain this experience? One way to get this experience is to sign up with the United Nations Volunteers programme. For one volunteering is a great thing to do and we all should give back to our communities by volunteering and on the other hand you will gain valuable UN experience with UNV. So head over to UNV and learn about their great work today!
