Turns out the YPP is a new form of the UN's old NCRE (National Competitive Recruitment Examination). Except with the NCRE, you could have stayed in the roster for eternity whereas if you pass the YPP exam, your stay on the roster has a 2-year expiry date. If you don't get an appointment after those 2 years, you're just off their list like nothing ever happened. I wonder how this differs from JPO.

Me. I'm considering either Political or Social, can't decide. I doubt there are that many who have taken it before, the program has only been around for a year. I think the first exams/interviews were held in 2011. That concerns me. Going through the exam is a lot of trouble and yet there's no guarantee you'll even get appointed a job after you've made the roster. Kind of disheartening, isn't it?
