How to land at the UN as global southern national

Let’s face it.  Getting a job at the UN is not easy.  More so, if you belong to a non-donor country.  But even when your hard work rewards you with a UN field position, there are epidemics, active armed conflict and much more.

In Episode 2 of Season 6, you will hear an honest, real and very insightful account of UN field work done mostly in Africa and Latin American posts. 

Santiago Quiñones shares his college and Masters education, his hard fought UN career, moments of doubt and despair, but also a huge drive to do good and give back to his native Colombia and everywhere he has worked.
