Check out the UN's Human resources page also Jul 10, 2007 This page from UN Geneva has information on language services at the UN http://www.unog.ch/80256EE60057CB67/(httpPages)/6198E1266DB7B16480256EF80049A2F2?OpenDocument You can link to the UN Human Resources page from the main page at http://www.un.org I don't have any experience, but there is probably a Proz member at there who would be willingly to share their experience.

UN competitive examinations Jul 11, 2007 Dear Noha The only way to be certified as meeting the UN quality requirements for a translator is taking the UN examinations for translators or interpreters. Once you've pass you can apply to any UN agency or offer your service as freelance. The exam is quite tough (I've taken it twice already) and the examination is held every two or three years. If you are one of the few lucky translators selected, it's a big achievement because all UN agencies have this examination as main requirement for translators or interpreters.
