IR Career Starters - February 2023
We're delighted that Alexander Borum, an Advisor on Political and Security Affairs for the Delegation of the European Union in Somalia, has kindly agreed for us to reproduce his periodical list of internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry-level positions in IR on our website.
Another month and another update to the IR Career Starters Newsletter! This month we can see a significant spike in internship postings as more organisations begin searching for spring and summer interns, which is excellent news for those looking! For this edition, I have compiled 249 distinct opportunities in international affairs; internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry-level positions.
Over the last months, I have gotten many questions on how to use these compilated lists best. This is an excellent question because these lists are more beneficial than just serving current positions ripe for applications. This newsletter should never be considered a replacement for your personal job hunt, and building your own search database is crucial! I recommend going through the list every month and bookmarking the career pages of all the relevant organisations you come across. Then, you can open an entire bookmark folder and see available jobs targeting your interests and ambitions; narrowing down the thematics and building a range of well-matching organisations really pays off in the long run!
Yours,
Alex
