[quote=Anonymous]I've spoken to a number of people in the development sector (not NGOs, but companies that work on foreign aid as contractors, etc). They say they tend to hire people with degrees in International Affairs but are frustrated that their new hires have no business skills at all-- think, ability to make spreadsheets, think clearly about budgets, etc. They would love a student with concrete business skills (which she would pick up from the general business education) and good analytics skills. The challenge might be getting the first interview because those types of enterprises tend not to interview with business schools. And a small oddity is that business schools often have their own career center that is separate from that of the university. So the internship idea is a good one-- an internship somewhere she'd love to get an offer later on. [/quote]
