Following a recurrent advice on this sub, I'm exercising for a written test feeding ChatGPT with the job description (it does a seemingly good job).
For the first iterations, I also used it to generate some answers, to get a sense of how I could address the likely scenario questions.

AI answers always look like:

"Context

1. Problem A
   • Bla Bla Bla
   • ...
2. Problem B
   • Bla bla bla
   • ...

• Potential solution 1
  • Bla Bla Bla
  • ...
• Potential solution 2
  • Bla Bla Bla
  • ...

Conclusion"

My point is, after few days of practicing, I'm kind of sold on this answer structure as it's:

• short,
• clear,
• to the point,
• easy to read for a one-page brief (which I would expect in the assessment),
• and, most importantly, there's not much to write (time-saving).

If I were a UN manager, I'd appreciate having info presented to me in such ordered fashion. But I'm afraid, if I do that in the test, it might look a copy-paste form GPT.

Are UN briefs and notes written in bullet points like that?

What's your thought on this?

Hello everybody!

I've been invited to a written test for an Officer (P2 level) position.

I'm trying to gather any possible information about the test itself, as the invitation only says I will get a Word file and 90 mins to do it.

There's basically nothing on reddit and only supposedly prep test material (with paywall) on the web.

Those jobs get hundreds of applications each, and FAO has been there since ever. There must be people here who went through it.

If you're one of them, of know something about it, please share! Any info about the format, type and quantity of questions, how you prepared, how you managed your time given the tasks, if there are practical exercises to do (e.g. math calculations), and so on..

I know it might change a lot depending on the role, but any info you can share will be super helpful for a lot of applicants, given how little we know.

Much appreciated!!!

Hello everybody!

I was offered a work-from home-job in Brussels for 48k.

Since the baseline salary is slightly below the Brussels average, I'm thinking to trying negotiate working from southern Europe (I'm from Italy).

Does anybody here manage to spend several months (100% would be too much of an asking) working abroad with a Belgian contract?

If yes, what's your deal with taxes, healthcare, min presence in Belgium?
