Although I would always want to work and live in the United States, it was exciting to think of working to help families and children on an international level. Thinking of my field locally and nationally does not lead to much of a major interest change for me. However, when I think of this field on an international level it reminds me of the importance of early childhood.
Save
the children’s website led me to a position entitled, child protection advisor
with a location of Hatay, Turkey. The
role of this person is to “provide quality technical leadership and advice for
the design, implementation and monitoring of child protection related
activities in the context of Syria response program” (www.savethechildren.net/jobs, 2013). When looking at the mission and vision of
this organization, I knew that I would want to be part of such an organization. The qualifications and experience needed for
this position are to have a “Master or Bachelor degree, experience with
fundraising with major donors, highly developed cultural awareness, and a
commitment to Save the Children values” (www.savethechildren.net/jobs, 2013).
United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s website has an
interesting position available for a finance and administrative officer with a
location of New Delhi. The role of this
person is to “provide a range of administrative management support activities to
the UNESCO entitles in New Delhi, India.
He/she reports directly to the directors of entities with overall
guidance from the Bureau of Financial Management” (www.careers.unesco.org, 2013). The position pays pretty well in US dollars
and seems like a very interesting position.
I looked the qualifications of this position and they would like the candidate to have at
least four years of experience and a bachelor’s degree (www.careers.unesco.org, 2013).
I looked at the UNICEF
website and looked at the careers that they offered. I was interested in a child protection
position with this company because I think that my passion for helping children
would be used greatly! According to the
website this position would “play a key role in the design, implementing and
monitoring and evaluation of child protection programs. Key areas include child protection from
violence, exploration and abuse, development and advocacy for legal and social
policy reform and strengthening national protection mechanisms” (www.unicef.org, 2013).
