Hello, I want to work for an International administration, too. I have read your C.V. and it is very extensive, and you work for prestiogious organizations. I work for an Local Administration, and I have a question, is it highly valued work for institutions like governments than for other administrations or private companies?
ReplyDeleteThe first and more difficult step is getting experience with international organizations. I guess you're spanish by your nickname so probably your best bet is the European Commission. A new competition should be published this year 2010 and even considering that it will probably be an Assistant competition (equivalent to B level) it's a good a way to get a foothold with international organizations...
ReplyDeleteYes, I am spanish. My name is Rubén. I wrote in English because the blog is write in English. Thank you very much for your opinion. I wish you support this blog for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rubén. I'll try my best. I intend also to post some articles with advice on first steps to get international experience. The most important quality is perseverance. This takes time, but if you're focused you'll get where you want to be (or someplace better...)
ReplyDeleteThank you, for all the time invested into this site, so anyone can use it. It took me some time to find it. But now that I have, it is fountain of knowledge. I have worked in JFC Naples as OR-6 and learned a few things about NATO structure. It is hard to understand, but here you have it all at a glance. Incredible - I salute you.
