No, don’t worry, it’s a relevant question! I just went with travel insurance. The medical insurance provided as part of that was suitable for satisfying the UN internship programme directors I believe.

Hi Darragh,

Thanks for the help. Another question, could you suggest me which kind of medical insurance to buy for the internship? is it same as travel insurance? Sorry maybe this is not a professional internship question….

Thanks a lot.

No worries at all. Feel free to drop me a line with any other information regarding your internship, so I can make this guide more up to date!

Yeah, I’ll try my best though I suspect my guide is out of date because the UN have changed the fashion in which they hire interns.

Regarding ‘under consideration’ – I got mine via email. I was then accepted for an internship (and thus, not rejected). The first time I applied in 2008, I simply got an email saying I wasn’t considered two months after application.

Presumably, under their new system, they will let you know if you get in. Though I cannot answer this with any certainty.

Phone interview is at the discretion of the team looking for interns. Some people, like me, did phone interviews. Other didn’t.

Hopefully that helps!
