Additional Information:
How to apply:
You need to submit both:
i) the ILO online application form; and ii) a cover letter which explains why you are interested in the particular roster you are applying for and indicates your availability (e.g. proposed start date and latest possible end date).
1. Login ILO eRecruitment system, complete your profile and click “Submit my application for this vacancy:”
2. Go to “My Application” Section while you are still logged in to the system:
3. Click “ADD” under “Covering letter” to the roster to which you have just applied:
4. Type the title and your covering letter. Click “SAVE CHANGES.”
Please note that applications without a cover letter will not be considered. At the very last stage of applying for roster, you will be asked to answer several screening questions.
**Once the application is submitted, it will not be possible to make any modifications, such as, deleting your application(s) or changing answers to the screening questions.**
Tips:
The more you can be specific about what you are interested in, the easier it will be for the departments to match their needs with your profile. To avoid technical issues please do not wait until the last moment to submit your application.
Application process:
Following a first screening by the Human Resources Development Department (HRD), hiring departments will short-list applicants. You will be directly contacted by them should an internship match your specific profile.
If you have not been contacted by any department within six months after your application, you can consider that your profile has not been picked by any department for this roster. Departments will use the roster for internships until the next one opens in six months.
Stipend:
You should ideally receive funding for your internship through an institution (for example you university/sending institution or a foundation), to cover your subsistence expenses (in Geneva the stipend is estimated at 2,245 CHF per months). However, if this is not provided, you will receive this stipend to cover living expenses. Your travel to the duty station would be at your own expense.
Insurance:
Please note that the ILO does not take responsibility for any costs arising from accidents and/or illness incurred during the internship. You will be responsible for your own insurance coverage for illness and accidents for the duration of the internship.
The ILO does not charge any fee at any stage of the recruitment process whether at the application, interview, processing or training stage. Messages originating from a non ILO e-mail account – @ilo.org – should be disregarded. In addition, the ILO does not require or need to know any information relating to the bank account details of applicants.
Depending on the location and availability of candidates, assessors and interview panel members, the ILO may use communication technologies such as Skype, Video or teleconference, e-mail, etc for the assessment and evaluation of candidates at the different stages of the recruitment process, including assessment centres, technical tests or interviews.
