Launching Development Sector Career Community
A Facebook Community To Help Development Sector Professionals Meet Their Career Aspirations
Hello Friends,
I am happy to announce the launch of the Development Sector Career Community on Facebook, in order to help you get career guidance and mentoring support from a wide spectrum of development sector professionals in India.
Quick Background: I had started this article series to share practical & well-researched insights related to development sector careers and based on the positive reception of the articles I have come to realize that many of us have certain career aspirations, unanswered queries, fears, and hesitations related to our careers in the development sector. At the same time, many other professionals have already experienced similar career situations/doubts and are willing to help out others. What’s often missing is a trustworthy community to discuss these aspirations in a focused & healthy manner.
I am a firm believer in power of communities and hence I am starting a social experiment to address the above career need.
Development Sector Career Community is a step towards creating a closely knit, trustworthy & safe, career guidance and mentoring community for development sector professionals in India.
