94. The Hidden Support System: How Governments Help You Land International Jobs

The Hidden Support System: How Governments Help You Land International Jobs Most international job seekers go it alone. But in many countries, government support for UN, EU, and multilateral careers exists, is free, and often completely unknown. In this episode, we meet with Anita Konijn, Dutch Ambassador and National Coordinator for International Positions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about a resource that professionals worldwide consistently overlook: government support for international careers. From comprehensive coaching programs to insider intelligence on upcoming vacancies, many countries offer far more than most applicants realise. Anita explains why governments across the globe invest strategically in placing their nationals at multilateral organisations, what different levels of support can look like, and what you need to bring to the table to make the most of it. Whether you're from the Netherlands or anywhere else in the world, the first step is the same: find out what your government offers. You might be surprised.
