Help for first time JPO application

Need advice: application

Hi everyone,

Recently some JPO positions have opened up that are in the area of my interest.

I have never applied for JPOs before and in general throughout years of application to various UN positions and agencies, have been rejected.

Of course I know that there are hundreds of people with massive experience and qualifications in competition but simply from my side, I want to put forth the best that I can, especially with no experience in applying to a JPO previously.

If anyone has experience with JPOs (applicant or recruiter or in general), I would be grateful if I could chat to you one on one and ask you for some guidance for particular questions that I have.

Please let me know, thanks in advance!
