Synopsis:

After directing the organization NGOabroad: International Careers and Volunteering for 20 years, the author wrote this guidebook to help both prospective and active social and humanitarian workers pursue their careers in international development. She has witnessed many individuals miss international job opportunities because they lack knowledge of the realities on the ground or the requisite skills.

This practical book fills in the gaps. Chapters detail the common problems of global poverty and injustice and instruct on community-building as a means of creating lasting change. The book is designed for those who wish to work or volunteer abroad in nursing, public health, engineering, education, entrepreneurship, environmental work, women's empowerment and other fields.

About the Author: Since 2002, former psychotherapist and social worker Ann McLaughlin has provided international career counseling to help people enter or advance in international development careers. She has done extensive work coaching, training and consulting with grassroots organizations in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and the Middle East and North Africa.
