As the largest financial contributor to the United Nations, the United States has a vested interest in ensuring that qualified Americans are well-represented within the ranks of the UNand its varied agencies and organizations. One important way in which young professionals join the UN is through the National Competitive Recruitment Examinations, an annual process through which the UN seeks to hire citizens from Member States that are underrepresented at the UN. In that context, the Department of State encourages interested Americans to explore UN employment and a career in multilateral affairs by learning more about the examination here.
