As students return to their campuses after what was hopefully a busy and productive summer—or as recent graduates begin to reckon with the realities of post-university life and the job market—this is an ideal moment to take stock. If you’re interested in a career in international affairs, now is the time to begin thinking strategically about how to land that all-important first job.
After nearly 25 years working in international affairs—first as a young U.S. Army officer during the early years of the so-called global war on terror, then as a rare U.S. national appointed as a special advisor in the British government, and later in leadership roles at major Washington think tanks—I’ve had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of undergraduate students and interns. Many of them have asked me the same question: How do I land my first job in international affairs?
