                            Addendum

 

1.        The purpose of the present information circular is to add the occupational groups of nursing and of science and technology to the list of occupational groups offered in the 2003 national competitive recruitment examination programme.

2.        The deadline for the receipt of applications is 31 October 2002 solely for these occupational groups. The 20 September 2002 deadline remains unchanged for all other occupational groups listed in information circular ST/IC/2002/50 of 8 August 2002.

3.        Owing to the special nature of the profession, candidates for the occupational group of nursing must have the following qualifications. The applicant must be a registered nurse, with at least a B.S. in nursing, and must have at least five to seven years of responsible experience in the application of nursing skills. Fluency in oral and written English is mandatory; knowledge of a second official United Nations language is an asset.
