A Career in International Organisations?
As we discussed today, a law degree is good training for a career in an international organisation. Have a look at the websites for WHO, IMF etc and see what positions are available. Do they offer internships? If so, why not apply? Also look at websites such as http://www.internships.com or http://www.internship-uk.com for other opportunities.
