• Why Model UN..! Model United Nations for us as university students, is such an experience that cannot be just named a part of working experience in our CV, it can surely represent a lot of skills much needed in business world,
Here are several skills gained through participation in international MUN conferences and local MUN work and preparations, that nowadays' market is hungry for…
- Let's start with public speaking. Almost every profession today requires your ability to represent yourself or your company in the best way possible. MUNs are perfect opportunity to speak in front of the large masses of people. On the other places, you may or may not speak, but on the conference like this, you just have to! The whole success on the conference depends on it. So, that's the perfect place where we can step up out of our comfort zone and start building that much needed public speaking confidence. Many successful politicians have admitted that MUN conferences have been ice breaker for them and first step in their public self-expressing.
- Another much needed quality is research skills. We all know that before any conference, we have to go thorough preparation not only on topic, but on countries policies and negotiations as well. That's a complex and a long process but very beneficial to us in future researches. We'll learn how to look up for things, how to focus on our own task, but more importantly, how to do it all QUICKLY. And that's the skill that employers find very significant, no matter which career direction you plan to have.
- Another important thing, strategy..! Strategy is something that the local core team do as well the delegates work on it before the conference and during the sessions.
- The way we present things in conference, is the key factor in getting heard, appreciated, and supported. This skill is very successfully applicable in business and real life situations, and can bring us higher than other candidates on job interviews.
- There are problem solving skills. No matter which committee you are in, dynamism of MUN environment always requires your immediate actions. The same is in today globalized job market, where things happen so fast, you rarely have enough time to fully think something through. Once you gain these skills, you will have less problems in dealing with your professional challenges. Without a doubt, participation on such a conferences itself shows your interest and understanding of basic UN related activities, the current world wide events, networking of the intercultural exchange, high up your team spirit and raising their leadership skills. And that all are the qualities that today's job market constantly search for. Students can attend Model United Nations conferences around the world.
