Tips to Make Your Application Stand Out
Prepare strong writing samples. If possible, have a policy brief, research summary, or academic paper ready. This shows capability.
Demonstrate interest in sustainable energy / climate action. Cite any relevant coursework, voluntary work, or projects.
Emphasize digital‐knowledge skills. If you’ve used tools like dashboards, data visualization, content management, or managed knowledge platforms, mention them.
Ensure your internet / workspace are reliable. Remote internships often expect continuous connectivity and ability to attend virtual meetings. Mention how you handle these practically.
Tailor your CV & cover letter. Show that you understand UNDP’s goals (especially in energy, climate, SDGs) and how you see yourself contributing.
