The UN Internship Programs selection processes are highly competitive. The number of candidates recruited depends on the needs of the specific UN organizations and their budget circumstances.

It is essential that candidates meet all of the program’s minimum requirements in order to be one of the selected few. But this is not everything. It is acknowledged that people who have connections with UN staff and previous experience at this organization have advantages in the UN Internships selection process. This is not because there are predetermined candidates. However, since these people have previous knowledge that facilitates their navigation through the complex UN System, they are better prepared for the competitive UN Internships selection process.

In pursuit of its mission, the OpenIGO network has developed a comprehensive eBook, as well as support and guidance services, with the aim of highly increasing your chances of success in these competitive selection processes. These services include revising your UN Internships application documents (Curriculum vitae/Resume, Cover Letter) and a mock interview, as per the original UN Internships model.

We have already helped dozens of candidates become UN Professionals and we can also assist you in passing this competitive selection process!

In this article, we are going to present each one of our preparatory services. You will understand why each of them is worth every cent.

UN Internship Programs - Application Review

Generally, in the first phase of the UN Internships selection process, you must fill out an online application form and send documents (Curriculum Vitae/Resume, Cover Letter, etc.). However, some UN Internship Programs may require that candidates submit these documents by e-mail. In both cases, these documents are decisive for your success in this competitive selection process. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance that your documents are carefully reviewed! This is exactly what our award-winning team will do for you.

At OpenIGO, we have analyzed documents from dozens of UN Internships candidates. This service is confidential and your files will be deleted from our systems when the service has been completed.

A review of your documents will be carried out in two stages:

Proofreading – highly qualified native English proofreaders will check your writing, formatting, correct errors and suggest improvements;
Technical review – a team formed of PhD professors with vast experience at intergovernmental organizations will carry out a technical review of the documents that you submit to the UN Internship selection process, offering feedback for improvement. The fit of your documents with the UN policies and strategies will be evaluated. However, we also highlight that our team will not write your CV/Resume or Cover Letter nor prepare any other documents for you. Our aim is to enhance your application. The merit of passing the selection process is all yours.

Why is it worth buying an application review?

It is a service of extremely high quality and care. A professor, with extensive knowledge of the UN Internship programs, carries out a technical review that, on average, takes 3.5 hours. In addition, a proofreader spends an additional hour checking your documents.
These documents are evaluated in all the different rounds of the UN Internship selection process. If you really want a strong application, it is essential that you prepare your documents with extreme care.
Our service is extremely well evaluated by those who have bought it.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

UN Internship Programs - Mock Interview

The UN Internship Program selection cycle includes an interview phase, whose main aim is to find out more about the candidate, and analyze their knowledge, competences and experience. It is widely understood and disseminated by the United Nations that the UN Internship interview model is the competency-based interview (CBI) but, in fact, it is mixed, combining competency-based questions with traditional ones.

Having a mock interview with a professional who has extensive experience and knowledge of the UN Internships interview model will help you be better prepared for this phase, greatly increasing your chances of being selected for the desired vacancy.

UN Internships mock interviews are held via Skype (preferably), WhatsApp, Facetime or Hangouts, conducted by an interview specialist as per the original UN Internship’s model and last around 60 minutes.

If you have arrived at this point in the selection process, you cannot afford to miss the opportunity for additional qualification. The value invested is nothing compared to the energy you have invested up until now, and with the benefits you will obtain when you are approved!

Why is it worth buying the mock interview?

On average, the interviewer (a professor with a Ph.D. who is a specialist in the UN Internships) spends approximately two hours reading all of your documents and preparing a script to be used in your interview, plus around one hour in a mock interview with you. Every interview is personalized and unique.
It is extremely well evaluated by those who bought it. 100% of the mock interview clients evaluate the mock interview as 5/5.
Thorough feedback is provided regarding your performance.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

“The World Bank YPP selection process is arduous, emotional and long! So, do yourself a service and invest in the wonderful services provided by OpenIGO. Their ebook is extremely informative and a very easy read. Using it, I was able to put forth a strong application and made it all the way through to the interview in this very competitive selection process. The book helps you to familiarise yourself with the WBG, and guides you to be able to write the strongest essay, CV and dissertation abstracts possible, given its chapters dedicated to them. Having made it so far with their help, I signed on to the mock interview service, and likewise, was not disappointed! Getting stuck on the first question the interviewers asked me helped me to realise that I had not focused enough on the basics, and with this knowledge, I prepped more efficiently for the final few days before and I passed! Thanks to OpenIGO. To all those who will embark on this journey, invest well!”

“Great service! The mock interview and book significantly improved my performance at the interview”

“Very happy I heard about OpenIGO during my application proces, even though it was only once I started preparing for the interview/assessment stage. I doubted at first because of the cost, but I’m extremely happy I made the investment, because both the ebook and mock interview proved very useful. The mock interview was with two people who took almost 1,5 hours AND they came prepared, which is much more than the 40 mins I expected. Thanks a lot!”

“The mock interview was really useful. Particularly John Tude gave many advice which really help me to be more confident”.

“Definitely worth it. As someone who went in without a clear idea of what would be expected, the ebook and mock interview were incredibly informative. I particularly appreciated the feedback at the end”.

“The application review service was essential for me to go on to the next rounds and be interviewed by the YPP team. It’s true I was not selected this time, but OpenIGO really helped me reach where I did in this competitive selection. Thank you to the OpenIGO team.”
