Hey all,
I am a graduate student in a masters program (not phd)..well I guess I am asking what kind of jobs if any will I be needing a professor recommendation in. i have one professor at least from my undergrad school that I can ask and I have one from my grad which I will ask if needs be, however, I am wondering now if jobs in the social policy/public sector (with INGOs, NGOs, Think tanks or companies ...) require recommendations as part of job application??? Other than if you wanna pursue another masters or phd or get into a graduate scheme, which other avenues are there for needing fabulous professor relationships and great recos???
ALSO, does it really matter what you do your MA dissertation in for your job career ..I mean lets say someone works in UN or in national govt after doing IR degree or politics degree ...can you use your dissertation topic to land a job..talki n interviews...is it possible that whatever subject you did it on DETERMINES what job you will get ..(they see you have expertise in lets say human rights law through your research and ask you for a interview only because of this hence you end up only getting interviews and offers from org that deal with this sorta issue!!)??
thanks very much!
