"After directing the organization NGOabroad: International Careers and Volunteering for twenty years, the author wrote this guidebook to help prospective and active social and humanitarian workers progress their careers in international development. As an international career advisor, she has witnessed many individuals who miss international job opportunities because they lack knowledge of the realities on the ground or the requisite skills in global development. This skill-based practical book fills in the gaps, empowering and equipping potential international development and social workers.

It's for those who wish to work or volunteer abroad in professions including nursing, public health, engineering, education, entrepreneurship, environmental work, women's empowerment and many more"--
