# Government, African Union and UN jobs in Ethiopia
Where to start
These are three different hiring systems. A federal public-service advert, an African Union role in Addis Ababa and a UN job may have different application accounts, languages, eligibility and deadlines. Begin at the institution's own vacancies page and read the full notice before preparing documents.
The Ethiopian federal public-service vacancy portal publishes active announcements when available. If it currently says there are none, do not treat an old forwarded PDF as a live application. For the African Union, use the AU's own jobs portal and check whether the opening is for staff, an internship or another contract type. “Addis Ababa” as the duty station does not itself mean every applicant is eligible; the advert decides.
For UN Secretariat posts, the UN Careers how-to-apply page directs applicants from the individual job description into the application process. Other UN agencies may use their own portals, as the UN career overview explains. Check the duty station and whether the position is national, local or internationally recruited.
Build a reliable application file
Keep your qualifications, work dates, licences, languages and references accurate in one master record. For each vacancy, map every mandatory requirement to specific evidence. Follow its upload and document instructions exactly. If it asks for a test or assessment, prepare from the advertised duties rather than an unofficial “guaranteed questions” file.
Save the advert and confirmation number. Sign in to the official portal to check status, even if a message says you have been shortlisted. The UN states that it does not charge recruitment fees. No person outside the institution can sell a place in a government, AU or UN selection process.
