The job search strategy is designed to touch on both more significant personal questions and more minor process-linked questions:
How does the Impact career landscape look like? Where do you fit?
How to build your job search strategy? What questions to ask yourself to understand where you best fit?
What are quotas, and how may quotas affect me? We introduce you to the world of quotas, a world that will help you target the best possible organizations,
How to submit the perfect application, and what do the recruiters look for?

Welcome to a course designed by the team behind Impactpool.
Ps: There may be other competing courses that also "teach" you how to land a UN job, but as far as I have seen, none of them is designed by teachers who have worked at the UN on a staff contract. Ds.
