Jas Malhi calls her current post with the U.K. Department for International Development her dream job. She has been a strategic communications manager for over a year now, working to improve public awareness of DfID’s work.
The University of East London marketing graduate, however, started with a different position-as human resource administrator-five years ago. Getting from that job to the current one she has saw her moving from one assignment to another.
“In DfID, there are lots of opportunities for you to use the rights skills for the right job,” Malhi said. “So initially, when I started off, I worked in HR. As I was working there, an opportunity came up for me to work on an international development white paper; it was just a great opportunity for me.”
