Development Agency Applications

Learn how to apply to major global agencies, such as the World Bank and European Union.

Below is a brief excerpt from this section:

Many intergovernmental organizations and other major development groups have specific protocols and CV formats to follow when applying for a position. These are articulated on each organization’s website.  

When you apply, it is critical to submit the CV in the correct format and of the correct length. For example, USAID provides clear directions stating which types of candidates require full CVs (usually for key personnel) and which require only a profile of a few paragraphs, about half a page total. The profile must be carefully written to convey as much essential information with the fewest words.

This is just a brief sample of the information in the GoinGlobal Spain Career Guide, which is carefully researched and regularly updated by local career experts.
