Making a Difference August 11, 2008

People often choose a career in international development because they want to make a difference. It’s a complex vocational sector encompassing a number of different roles and there is no one set career pathway. It’s also a competitive one and you may need to take responsibility for your own career development and take opportunities that may add to your understanding and CV. The World Service Enquiry has just published Working in Development – a guide which includes practical advice and tips about taking your first steps into International Development. It’s this week’s new addition to the library.
World Service Enquiry is an organisation that provides information and advice about volunteering or working in international development. We already subscribe to WSE’s Opportunities Abroad – this is a monthly international development job list. You can find the print out in the files here in the library.
Don’t forget that The Careers Group, University of London and SOAS also published a book called Getting into International Development. It’s availabe for reference in the library here and in colleges but you can also buy your own copy through our website. Working in development offers a fulfilling career but it’s often a challenging sector to get into. This book gives an excellent insight into the sector and can help you get your career moving. There’s a website which is designed to be used in conjunction with the book and recently a blog has been added to keep students and graduates in touch with useful news, events and resources.
