How to get IR/Public Policy Jobs

Recommended Posts

Where are the best places to search for these jobs to build work experience before applying for schools? I want at least 1 more year of experience. I only have a BA and one year Peace Corps. I want to shoot for SAIS/Georgetown/GWU/HKS... etc. I'm interested in foreign affairs, which is vague, I know, but I just want to get my foot in the door.

Use your noncompetitive status from Peace Corps to try to get US gov jobs; be willing to take an unpaid internship; and apply to very entry level type positions (program assistant) at development organizations that would be attracted to your language/regional specialty.  Beyond that, I'd suggest you apply to those grad schools now so you can enter school directly upon leaving your Peace Corps service - oftentimes you'll need to be a current student to even be considered for many of those entry level positions and internships.
