Synopsis

"Careers in International Affairs", now in its eighth edition, is the ultimate job hunting guide for anyone hoping to work in the U.S. government, international organizations, business, or nonprofits. This thoroughly revised edition provides up-to-date descriptions and data about careers in the global workplace and how to find them - along with nearly 300 organization profiles. In addition to a remarkably broad and deep list of organizations and contacts, "Careers in International Affairs" offers insight and guidance from a career counselor, a graduate student, and practitioners in the international affairs community on networking, interviewing, finding a mentor, and choosing the best graduate school.The book also presents numerous firsthand perspectives on various career sectors from those who have found their own international niche - from young professionals to senior policymakers. It is designed to encourage international job seekers to think about what they know and what talents they have to offer, to widen their horizons and reveal all the possibilities, to help them realize that the future could hold several careers, and to remind them that it is never too early - or too late - to consider the variety of options that await them around the world. "Careers in International Affairs" is published in cooperation with Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, the oldest and largest school of international affairs in the United States.

Review:

"I wish I had this book when I started my career. It is full of sound advice on how to build your vision and serve others in the process." -- Allan E. Goodman "This book is extremely useful for students with an international affairs focus, particularly those interested in careers like my own that bridge the public and private sectors. It is essential reading for anyone contemplating an international career." -- Jay Collins "Over the years the SFS guide has proven to be an invaluable resource to those students who are eager to use their international relations training productively. It is respected by those who teach, those who employ, and those who want job...a trifecta!" -- Madeleine K. Albright
