Achievement-oriented CV

Applicants for UNDP positions are expected to submit an achievement orientated CV when applying for jobs. In addition, a short, concrete cover letter may also be submitted along with the CV.

The key to writing a CV is to keep it focused on the position you are applying for. You should use 'UN language' which will ably demonstrate your knowledge of the UN environment when 'selling' yourself into a new opportunity.

Focus on your key accomplishments (achievements) and keep the CV to a maximum of three pages.
