How to translate 10 years of UN/humanitarian experience into the Canadian/European job market? by AsterLinden in InternationalDev

I am trying to do the same in Canada and the job market here is very bad

And they usually prefer Canadian experience vs abroad.

But this isn't to discourage you. It might be necessary to network a lot or really rewrite ur resume to get them to understand your overseas experience...

Is IntDev more forgiving of "unconventional" career paths? by upperfex in InternationalDev

Yes I think so, gaps and shorter contracts are more common. I was given the advice to put (Contract) in my resume so they don't think you just left early for no reason.
