Pending. This page will be expanded with a summary, key takeaways, and a per-speaker narrative once the recording is released by the organisers. The description below is from the official agenda.
Join this engaging and practical panel discussion featuring professionals from diverse backgrounds who have navigated, and in some cases built bridges between, the United Nations system and the private sector. Through their experiences, the panel will discuss how to position your profile, using language that resonates, and navigate private sector recruitment processes. At the same time, the panel will touch on key differences in ways of working, organizational culture, and expectations, helping to demystify what working outside the UN really entails. Whether you are actively considering a transition or simply curious about how your skills might translate, this session will offer honest perspectives, practical insights, and reflections to help you better understand how to enter, adapt, and succeed in the private sector.
