Working World: Careers in International Education, Exchange, and Development

"Working World" is the perfect resource for making sound career choices, and is particularly valuable for those interested in exploring a career in international education, exchange, and development. Sherry Mueller and Mark Overmann serve as spirited guidance counselors and offer valuable insight on launching a career, not just landing a job. With a rich mix of anecdotes and advice, the two authors present their individual perspectives on career development: identifying your cause, the art of networking, the value of mentors, and careers as "continuous journeys." "Working World" provides specific resources including annotated lists of selected organizations, websites, and further reading. Profiles of twelve professionals, from promising young associates to presidents and CEOs, illustrate the book's main topics. The resources were chosen specifically to help job seekers map the next steps toward the opportunity that will give shape to the career they envision.
