Welcome to a conversation about how you can find your dream job within the development sector! During the evening, people who in different ways work with international development will discuss how one can increase their chances of getting an international job, a trainee position or an internship after their studies. You will also have the opportunity to meet recruiters from the sector, who will tell you about what they are looking for in an application and give tips on how to become a sharper candidate.
Come and listen, get inspired and ask the questions you have always wanted answers to about the jobs that contribute to sustainable global development!
