Careers in International Affairs

Ninth Edition
Laura E. Cressey, Barrett J. Helmer, and Jennifer E. Steffensen, Editors

This is the essential resource and job-hunting guide for all those
interested in international careers in the US government, multinational
corporations, banks, consulting companies, international and
nongovernmental organizations, the media, think tanks, universities, and
more. *Careers in International Affairs*, now in its ninth edition,
provides up-to-date insights about the range of possibilities in the global
workplace and tips on how to get these jobs—along with profiles of hundreds
of important employers.

This helpful guide includes a directory of more than 250 organizations who
offer internationally oriented jobs such as the US Department of State,
CIA, United Nations, World Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Google, McKinsey &
Company, and dozens more. The book also includes insightful testimonies
about what these careers are really like from both junior and senior
professionals in these fields. *Careers in International Affairs* gives
advice on academic paths that will prepare students for demanding
international careers and guidance on how to write resumes, interview for
jobs, network, and maintain their online profile.

Published in cooperation with the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service
at Georgetown University, the oldest school of international affairs in the
United States, *Careers in International Affairs* will encourage job
seekers to consider their goals and talents, widen their horizons to
consider new possibilities, and help them realize that their future can
hold several careers, while reminding all that it is never too early—or too
late—to consider the realm of opportunities that await them throughout the
world.
