Hello everyone!

On the UN website, there was a page where you could download a sample test from a previous year (for the translator exam) but I can't find that page anymore.

Could someone point me to the right page? (although I have the impression that it has been removed)

Thank you!

My feeling is... Jan 27, 2022

... that they are not running the exam any more. Certainly not every year, like they did when I was younger.

Here in NY, they are no longer hiring "permanent" employees (équivalent CDI, quoi). The UN is hiring on a 1-year contract basis and giving work to retirees. I know people who kept working for the UN well into their seventies.
