Expert Application Advice
When tailoring your CV for UNICEF, place their specific requirement les compétences demandées dans l'annonce in the "Key Qualifications" section. Use a brief example of how you handled a security incident or risk, showing you meet that exact need.
UN process — Complete an up-to-date, role-specific UN P11 — a generic P11 is disqualifying. Apply within 72 hours of posting: UN agencies often close applications once volume thresholds are reached.
Certifications and procedures — List your current certifications (fire safety, first aid, crisis management) with dates. Prepare concrete risk situation examples — the clarity of your response procedures is the real assessment criterion.

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
