IR Career Starters - February 2024
298 Opportunities in International Relations

IR Career Starters - February 2024

It is February, and once again, it is time for a new edition of IR Career Starters. This month, I am excited to share 298 new internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry/early-career positions to help you get off to the very best start to a career in international affairs.

The job market is still a bit sluggish after the holiday period, but usually, things start picking up during the spring, especially for summer internships. With fewer opportunities, it might be a good time to polish off your resume, cover letter templates and LinkedIn profiles, or perhaps try your hand at relevant professional coursework or certifications to help you stand out further.

Having slowly settled in Tuscany, I am now looking at writing more articles to support those seeking a career in international relations. I have covered CVs, cover letters, interviews and written general guides, but I am keen to hear about the challenges that you face or suggestions that you have that I could write about, if feasible.

Are you facing particular challenges in your jobhunt, that a guide/how-to article might be useful for? Please let me know in the comments below!

As always, I greatly appreciate comments, shares and likes to the Newsletter, and I would warmly welcome Podcast recommendations that I can compile and share with the group; it sadly has to be crowdsourced, else it is just out of scope to keep including them, so please don't hold back!

All the best,

Alex
