IR Career Starters - May 2023

With thousands of IR students knee-deep in thesis writing and wrapping up their academic studies, it is an excellent time to look at what is hiding at the end of the tunnel; a career in International Affairs.

For the May edition of the IR Career Starters Newsletter, I am happy to share 357 internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry-level positions across the globe. While a day late due to a well-deserved leave and a prioritisation for consuming tom yum goong instead of compiling the 11th edition, there are plenty of interesting new challenges for anyone looking to start or advance in the field.

In addition to the newsletter, I post unique opportunities a few times per week. So if you are interested in upper-tier internships, traineeships and young professional programmes, and excellent chances to build upon your IR profile, please pop by my profile and #Follow and #Subscribe to notifications.

As always, to ensure the newsletter reaches as many as possible, please feel free to #Share #Comment and #Like so it can get echoed to your networks!

I hope you enjoy it,

Alex
