Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your application for Catholic Relief Services (CRS), directly address the requirement Dynamics with a specific project example you led. This shows you understand their unique challenges and have solved similar ones.

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.

Complex projects — Prepare a project example: total budget, duration, team size, major risks managed and results vs. defined indicators. Formal framework mastery (PMI, PRINCE2) is often tested.

  • •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.
