International Development Job Sites (Updated)

Because I am feeling particularly generous today, I thought I would post some of the job sites I use when I’m searching for international development jobs.

My favourites

• http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/res.nsf/doc212?OpenForm
• http://www.devex.com/en/jobs (Great for searching entry level positions)
• http://unjoblist.org/lists/ (I like getting these emails, although I think I have only applied to one job)
• http://www.idealist.org/info/Careers

In Canada

• http://www.charityvillage.com/cv/main.asp (Mostly Canadian)
• http://www.goodworkcanada.ca/gw.php

Organizations I often check for updates (these link straight to the “careers” page)

• CANADEM (Get registered on their international deployment roster. It’s free!)
• UNICEF
• UNDP
• CARE
• OXFAM
• Save the Children
• International Rescue Committee
• International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
• National Democratic Institute

I also often check country offices (for example, UNDP Tanzania Country Office or OXFAM Tanzania Country Office) for updates. Sometimes they have more job listings you won’t find anywhere else, in the place you want to work.

I also just recently joined a job sharing google group that a few of my former classmates from the University of Ottawa created. Feel free to join! It’s open to all.

And, although I have come to realize people are generally not so good about sharing job resources, please let me know if there are any other job sites you use. Remember, all of us have different backgrounds and experience and probably aren’t trying to get the same jobs. And if you are and are more qualified, you should get it.  I have no qualms about that!
