The dividing line between these two categories is not always easy to draw. For example, there is a big difference between Copenhagen and New York, where many Copenhagen nationals hold jobs that would be in New York internationally. Typically, jobs that require an equivalent master`s degree are international, while local jobs require a high school education or bachelor`s degree. In all these contracts, there are different professional levels (sometimes called levels). The International Civil Service Commission has defined grades ranging from ICS-1 to ICS-14 (for simplicity, let`s finish at ICS-14). And within these levels, there are two broad categories. The first is the general service category at ICS-7, and then the professional category, which usually starts at ICS-8. General services Jobs often do not require a master`s degree, while jobs in professional degrees often require a master`s degree (UPDATE: See also the comment below). Sorry, I don`t have that information. It depends on the country where it is located (especially since it is a local ICA contract).

If you know the service contracts of other organizations, I guess it`s not that far away. I have a question: If you are overqualified for a p4 position for which you have applied and which is offered, is there a way to negotiate a level in the p4 scale so that your long professional experience (more than 10 years) is recognized and weighted appropriately? For an overview of what approximate contract level and type equivalents are, please visit the UN Job Listing search page (scroll down). To estimate what your salary might look like, you can use the UNDP salary calculator. ICS is a grade – it does not specify the type of contract. Thus, an ICS 9 could be both an A on an A AND an TA. International Staff Entry Positions – Grades G (GS). (G-1 to G-7). G – 7 is the highest content.

International Employees Middle Management Positions from P-1 to P-6 (the P-6 is the highest salary)Salary Calculator for International Employees (try to open this link with Internet Explorer). So go to the links above – choose your grade and type of contract, and that`s the duration and you get the monthly salary. The UN salary depends on: 1) Are you, international staff or national staff. 2) Types of contracts (short-term contract, fixed-term contract (AFC), fixed-term appointment (AT) 3) Contract stage – contract level. FTA contacts can be from 6 to 12 Montes and less than 6 months. This is mentioned in the job posting. TA contracts from 3 months to more than 1 year. This is mentioned in the job posting.

As always, local positions occupied by residents under service contracts (SC also known as SB in some UN agencies) and general service contracts (CS). Middle managers occupy positions of national agents (NO). ICS refers to a grade/level and does not specify the type of contract. So there is no way to say. Essentially, they want to know how much money you want to receive. The fact is that this is this: they treat this as a supply measure and try to get you to bid for the contract. I would leave with something similar to the temporary equivalent salary as a financial offer. Hello 🙂 It is always difficult to give advice in these areas: I would say that the two positions you describe need to be further developed, because both are not supposed to be there “forever”. So it depends a little bit on how much you`re willing to take a risk. The big question is what will happen after technical assistance. TAs require a business interruption after one year. However, if the work still needs to be done, there may be one open to compete once the TA is complete.

If you know the job, you obviously have an advantage, but remember that since it has to be an open competition, of course, there is no guarantee of anything. In general, I encourage you to follow where your interest and skills lead you, and to have contract types as a secondary consideration (while of course keeping an eye on these basic administrative necessities all the time!) Once you are in the system as a consultant, you will be locked into that salary bracket by the HUMAN RESOURCES department, even if you receive subsequent contracts that have more responsibilities, etc.
