Introduction to International Careers
Non-Profit Careers, By Laura Joseph, Assistant Director, Center for African Studies
The job search process can be long and tiring, however, it can also be very awarding. Students with a background in Russian, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and/or Central Asia have a lot of opportunities to work both in the region and from the United States. Students should use the many available resources at the Ohio State University to help write resumes, improve interviewing skills, and to aid in the job search process.
As a Title VI National Resource Center, CSEES sends out a job list twice a month, sent to subscribers' email addresses. For more information.
