A tremendous resource for all those seeking to enter and build their careers in the international development and humanitarian assistance fields. Gedde's book provides much needed advice on the range and diversity of roles, how to identify which aspect of the sector is for you, build your knowledge, skills and evidence, and network and market yourself effectively to find and secure an opportunity. Whether new to the sector, transitioning into it mid-career, or thinking about how to take your experience further, the multitude of examples and case studies woven throughout Gedde's chapters provide superb insights and context to her clear, practical and thorough guidance.
