In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

  1. Good luck with the job hunt in Toronto. I’m currently applying for NGO jobs in the UK, and I’m finding that many NGOs list positions on external jobs sites (e.g. charityjobs.co.uk) and not on their own website, so it’s probably worth looking through all the non-profit websites on a regular basis. A lot of people also seem to get into NGO work by volunteering at first, so if you have a bit of free time then maybe email the organisations you’d most love to work for and see if they’ve got a use for you at the moment.

  2. Thanks for the suggestions. Now that I am nearly done moving, I definitely need to re-prioritize the job search.
