Resources It's all on the Internet - however finding it is difficult - it's not all in one place or on one page! If you have endless time you can do-it-yourself or I can suggest some things to save you time. I have been researching volunteering and job opportunities in international development and the developing world for over 16 years; I am still learning about new resources every week. A lot of what I have learnt can be found in the World Service Enquiry publications below.
If you know little about volunteering or working overseas in the developing world; what types of agencies exist and what they do; what is an aid worker... Then you will find World Service Enquiry's Volunteer for Development very helpful. I have been responsible for writing and editing this booklet for over 14 years and it aims to answer the most common questions from people wishing to volunteer or work in international development or volunteer in the developing world.
Working in Development is full of ideas on how you can improve your chances to get your first or next development job. Written specifically for career changers and new graduates by an experienced career guidance consultant. It is based on the most common questions encountered from career changers and job seekers over the last few years. Order from your local book shop or buy now and save money.
Looking to study?
A word of warning: Don't assume another degree is going to help and this might be some thing you want to explore in a career consultation. A degree is going to cost you thousands of pounds and is a major time commitment; is not going to make you a development worker - but I might help. The most complete listing of UK based International Development related courses, full- and part-time, can be found at the Development Studies Association, other international centres and distance learning on Reliefweb.
International Development and Relief Jobs
These are probably the hardest to find on the internet. As a specialist you should know the key players and networks within your area of expertise. There is no one single site listing all the possible International development jobs and opportunities - there are hundreds of them and many are specialist sites. Some of the sector's key sites are listed on the job page.
Through a career consultation you can discover what sites are relevant to you and where your jobs and opportunity might be. |
