Dear Change Practitioners,
To introduce myself, I have been passionate
about international development for several years and did my CMU senior year
research in the realm (see: http://graphafrica.com/). I also started a student
organization (http://dsoglobal.org)
focused on the topic. So, no, I'm not a recruiter or headhunter.
That said, I would like to alert all of you to an opportunity that I
think you would find interesting. I am currently on the Diplomacy and
International Development (DID) team at Booz Allen and we are looking to
hire. It is a small team with large impact, consulting with almost all the
major developmental headquarters in DC. I think this is an amazing
opportunity to get an insider's view of a variety of development
organizations and understand some of the challenges that they face on a
daily basis. As an added bonus, the team dynamic is great: it really is a
meritocracy and the people are all remarkably sharp.
I took 6 months after I graduated to examine every major company and
opportunity in the international development realm, and I can honestly
recommend this opportunity. I wanted a job where I felt I could make an
impact in an issue that I cared about. If this sounds like you, I'd
highly encourage you to apply.
If you are interested, please send me an
email with your resume and cover letter attached. Of course, I would be
happy to entertain questions beforehand. Lastly, feel free to forward
this to any qualified friends.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Edwin
