As I approach the last stage of my internship with the UN and my final few weeks in New York City, I have been trying to establish some good contacts and gain valuable career advice for the future. While the work I have been doing for the Peacekeeping department of the UN has certainly been interesting, the most useful lessons I have learned have definitely come from having an insight into the UN as a whole, the inspirational people I have met and the exciting experience of living in the wonderful city that is New York.
Time is flying by so quickly in New York and I have now been here for over 5 weeks and I’m almost halfway-through my internship with the UN. My department are giving me lots of interesting work to do and after expressing an interest in translation projects, I’m getting to use my language skills a lot which is great.
