I write to apply for the Administrative Assistant position which is currently being advertised on the http://www.unescap.org/jobs website. As a recent graduate I am someone who is looking a long term career in the regional development arm of the United Nations for the Asia-Pacific region, it was a combination of the role, what you have to offer and what was required for the position that made the position extremely appealing. Working with the The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is also attractive due to your strong values with respect, ownership and opportunity. These are values I have lived by and demonstrated throughout my working career.
