If you’re experiencing frustrations and running into brick walls trying to transition to a career in global development, know that you aren’t alone. This is according to Ronda Ansted, CEO and senior career consultant at Be the Change Career Consulting, who herself was frustrated by the difficulty in transitioning to development work after obtaining her master’s degree.
Now, with more than 20 years of experience in multiple roles in the sector, including organizational development facilitator, program director and international recruiter, Ansted has come up with a formula to help others figure out how to leverage their skills and experience into a successful development career.
It isn’t a linear process, she warned, but her framework consisting of purpose, patience and persistence can help you formulate a clearer path.
