Before we go into some of the tips, I want to talk a little bit about the basic premise of why we use competency interviewing. And the basic premise is that, if you can demonstrate that you can do the competency in the past, chances are that you’ll be able to do it in the future.

The world community recognized literacy as an “indispensable foundation for independent learning” in Education 2030: Incheon Declaration and Framework for Action: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all and subsequently in General Assembly resolution 70/1, entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. One goal of the world community is universal literacy. Target 4.6 of the Sustainable Development Goals reflects the ambitious and transformative agenda for literacy action in the next 15 years. UNESCO continues to play a catalytic and coordinating role by supporting Member States in their efforts to create a more literate world, as well as ensuring synergies between different actions, in particular through the establishment of the Global Alliance for Literacy within the framework of lifelong learning.

The UN says that it would like to pay interns, but claims its hands are tied by a resolution passed in 1997 that forbids the payment of non-staff. Yet unpaid internships existed for decades before: a senior UN adviser recalls completing one in 1970 in New York. The resolution in fact simply acknowledged an old, ad hoc practice. But since the resolution, the UN’s yearly intern intake has ballooned from 131 in 1996 to 4,018 in 2014. UN departments, unable to expand budgets and recruit staff, increasingly turn to a revolving door of young graduates willing to work for free, for two to six months at a stretch. Though interns may protest, they clearly see value in the connections, experience and sense of purpose that UN internships provide, not to mention having its brand on their CVs.
