What is a busy day like?
“The work never ends. Usually I work a little bit right when I get up to see if there are any urgent emails from colleagues in Asia or Europe to address or any news items we might need to cover right away. Then, after I spend most of time in the office in meetings or answering questions from colleagues who drop by my desk, I end up doing a lot of content writing from home. I spend my commute to and from the office responding emails via my phone.”
One piece of advice to give to those who are interested in the work at the UN?
“The UN is so big and the work is so varied, that you should just study what interests you. Work on your language and writing skills. There are never enough good writers and if you can draft content in several languages, you’ll always be in demand.”
