Week 8 - Impactpool 10-Week Job Strategy Challenge - Networking & Informational Interviews

By now, you’ve identified your top organizations, tailored your applications, aligned your skills with UN competencies and addressed gaps in your CV. This week, we focus on a critical step often overlooked: networking and informational interviews. In highly competitive sectors like international development, who you know and how you engage can make a significant difference. "Networking is not about collecting contacts or asking strangers for jobs. It is about building relationships that help you understand your sector, learn from others and contribute to a professional community."
