From Poverty to Power » How to get a job in development: the definitive (368 page) guide

From Poverty to Power » How to get a job in development: the definitive (368 page) guide: "How to get a job in aid and development? That is the question hovering over lecture theatres and seminar rooms everywhere, as students rack up those debts and wonder if/how they will ever get a job which both fulfils them and keeps them solvent.

Up until now, the only place to refer people has been long lists of links, a scatter of websites like Devex or AidBoard  and random posts from people like me.

Now, there’s something much more substantial. This week, Routledge is publishing ‘Working in International Development and Humanitarian Assistance: A Career Guide’ by Maia Gedde, with a foreword by me. It’s 370 pages of invaluable material, but it costs $60 in paperback – maybe one for a library order?"
