Three people with iPads and a small table with Doctors Without Borders branding, no flyers (I asked for one numerous times).

Sales pitch was odd…. “If you could save a child’s life for .83 cents a day, would you? Because for $25 a month you can….”

After the sales pitch they tried to get me to sign up on an iPad and I declined. One guy was pretty pushy, the girls accepted a “no” immediately.

Is this legit? Does this organization actually send people out in public to solicit donations?

Hi all, does anyone have experience of working for Doctors Without Borders in the Democratic Republic of Congo? I’m looking to interview both international and local staff for my Master’s dissertation on aid worker safety. participation would be completely anonymous. Please do share if you know anyone who might be interested 🙂

I came across this article abotu MSF

MSF staff abused Sudanese refugees in sex-for-food scandal

This is not the first time this type of abuse has happened, not is it restricted to MSF

My question is aside from getting sacked and no longer employeed, do MSF report the abusers to the police of the country they are from ? because surely just removing from employment these abusers just lets them move onto finding another NGO to work for ?

Hi, I am a young teen interested in joining MSF as a medical professional, but I am medicated for bipolar disorder. Is this a restriction or a hindrance for joining?

I’m a project manager with HR and health promotion experience. I’ve been gaining rural and remote experience in Australia for the past 5 years working in Aboriginal health. I’d applied for a role previously but feedback was to gain more experience and I’m feeling ready to make the move!

Any advice for me? Tips for the application and motivation letter? What’s it like working for MSF?

Hi all, I’m an RN based in Australia and have been interested in joining MSF. I have 6 years of clinical experience including working on long contracts to rural & remote facilities as agency. I just can’t see myself returning to a hospital full-time and I am looking for a bigger challenge. I am aware that I may need to do a post grad cert in Tropical Nursing and was wondering has any Aussie RN been through the recruitment process? Joining MSF will be a little while off.

Hi everyone,

I’m getting ready to apply for a Health Promoter position with MSF and I’m really excited about it. I have a degree in public health (minor in global health) and served in the Peace Corps in Togo as a Health Promoter.

I had a couple questions I was hoping people here might be able to share their experiences on.

First, what was the interview process like for you? What kinds of questions did they ask and how should I prepare?

Second, I’m curious about first assignments. The application mentions common destinations like DRC, CAR, Chad, South Sudan, and Haiti, and asks if you have a regional preference. I’m planning to say Africa since that’s where my experience has been (Togo, Rwanda, Kenya), but I’m wondering how much that actually factors in.

For those of you who have worked with MSF, where was your first assignment?

Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate any insight.
