Building an International Career in Foreign Policy

The foreign policy field presents unique opportunities to build a truly international career spanning geographies and cultures. However, the process of building an international career can seem convoluted and daunting and comes with a unique set of challenges. As part of this discussion we will be covering topics including the value of working abroad as part of a foreign policy career, how to stand out as an international candidate, and panelists’ experiences on navigating visa and immigration issues.

Join us for a virtual discussion with panelists who have built international careers in a variety of foreign policy fields, and find out more about the benefits as well as challenges of being a global professional in today’s world. The panel discussion will be followed by a brief Q&A session.

Event format

A private link to a group call will be circulated to all participants one day before the event. The informal panel discussion will follow an interactive Q&A format, to facilitate organic conversations between participants and panelists.

We welcome all women and non-binary people to our events, particularly from underrepresented backgrounds. We are committed to building an environment that respects and values the diversity of our community. The ticket cost of our events is entirely reinvested into Women in Foreign Policy to ensure that we can continue to provide the majority of our resources free for our community.
