If you’re pursuing a global development or social impact career, you have a lot of competition when it comes to landing your next role. Your approach to CV writing, networking, and job interviews needs to be in line with the best practices of the day to stand out from the crowd.
”It's really important to put the time and effort into really customizing your CV [and] your application for every position that you're applying for,” advised Caroline Korda Poole, the founder of the Centered Career coaching service, in response to a question on development CVs during a recent Devex Careers Event.
Korda Pool was joined by Stephanie Mansueto, a social impact job hunting coach and a principal recruiter at Abt Associates, and Mike O’Connor, a career consultant and founder of The Actualized Self, to help professionals navigate their career paths and the many questions that arise along the way.
