Position (Consultancy): APSIA Career Guides Consultant
Inspiring global impact through education, the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA) unites leading graduate schools of international affairs to advance understanding, peace, and prosperity.
APSIA seeks a consultant for a thorough revision of the APSIA Career Guides, last revised in 2020. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate of a program in international affairs, or a second year or beyond master’s or PhD student, with very good research skills, including experience coordinating a group of stakeholders and streamlining content. Previous experience with interviewing and policy writing is highly valued, as is an understanding of the international affairs landscape.
Interested applicants should create a proposal and framework for the revision of the career guides, including their approach and methodology (notably, how they would work with APSIA’s member schools to identify interviewees, their approach to interviewing and/or focus groups). APSIA aims to have a more rigorous career guide than the previous edition, with a clear methodology illustrating how the work was conducted, references to outside sources (for example, industry publications related to careers in international affairs), citations, identifying trends and a section providing recommendations to students, alumni, and career directors.
As part of a section on recommendations within the career guides, the consultant should work with the APSIA career director community to also put together a resource list, including hiring trends, best practices in advising, and a shortlist of employer contacts that are sought after by the APSIA career community.
