Hello there Anupam. When applying you have to make sure your Personal History Profile is good – this is the application you fill out when you apply for the UN internship program. The system works, like many large job sites, on key words. Match your application to the selection criteria and this should help you out. I redrafted my application several times before submitting. Get a friend to read through it asking them to compare your application and skills to the selection criteria.
Generally, you have to be in a postgraduate degree program (i.e. a masters) but I’m told that rule isn’t always mandatory. It depends on the needs of the organisation.
Of course, I’m not privy to the selection process, but this is what I’ve learned through my experience. I will write an article soon about applying and what I know. Generally, there are no hard and fast rules. As I’ve said, it depends on which departments want interns.
From memory, it might depend on your access version. Newer versions have figured this out (that when you say 2.5 in a percentage field, you mean 2.5% and not 250%). You could simply set it to percentage.
hi Steve. Yes, this problem seems to happen in a number of scenarios, most commonly in the scenario you describe in your example. It’s bloody annoying!
As far as I know, that delimter doesn’t work in Jet SQL.
Access can take single ‘ ‘ delimters, but the way I propose is a functional way of doing it from code. Unfortunately, it seems that Jet inteprets the SQL different from VBA code than it does when using the normal query windows through its native interface. The reason why it is different, I shall have to find out!
