Hi! I am glad you found it helpful!! Thanks so much for watching! Is there other content you would like to see here? :-) -Chelsea

That is a great addition! If I could do the video all over again, I would definitely add military. Thanks for the comment !

@ do you have any videos that breakdown fso pay. I’ve been looking into Foreign Service Diplomatic Technology Officer career field.

That’s a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add it to the line up.

Hey Kyla! Thanks for your question. Honestly, I think it depends on your end goal. I have a video on masters in IA coming out soon. But to answer you question, it depends on your goal. I would find the position you are interested in and start checking doing things to make yourself the strongest candidate for that role. IA is a super broad field. So in my opinion, if you can go specific, that would be better. Like say you want to go into science and tech with IA. I would get your IA masters degree with an emphasis on science and tech. So you're taking courses related to science and tech. That will give you the certification, courses, and experiential experience needed for your ideal role. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and watching :-)

It depends on what you want to do! Do you want to work in international law? To you want to become an international lawyer. or do you want to look into the masters of law degree. It depends on what you want :-)

Thankyou

Yes!!! This is wonderful to hear! Yes, thank you to Ebony for sharing this wonderful information. Cheering you on!

I’m going to add my two cents here. First, there’s nothing that you are doing that’s wrong. What you’re experiencing is actually quite normal in today’s job climate. I’ve had similar experiences in the past. And what I’ve had to do is design and craft my resume in a way that highlights my degree and experience but also reveals how I stand out. You have to keep in mind, so many people have a degree these days. There’s a surplus. The number of bilingual speakers is growing. Speaking from the United States only, these qualities used to be novel 10 to 15 years ago. They have become more commonplace. So the route is not as linear and straightforward as it used to be. And by the way, I’m someone in my mid 40s working in international relations; it took a very long time to get there. I see so few women like me, for disclosure, I am a Black woman, and I see very little representation in the IR space. What I will tell you is be careful how you present your degrees on your résumé. I would be very cautious about even mentioning pursuing a PhD. A PhD can often be a double edged sword depending on what field you’re in. Especially if you are younger and you don’t have a certain duration of experience. People automatically see a doctorate and expects candidates to ask for more money. Which makes sense. But employers are hesitant to extend offers-especially if it’s not a high executive position. Lastly, the university to secured employment pipeline is so unreliable these days. Also, the fact that you are getting interviews is a big deal! There are people who will send out hundreds of resumes and not hear a drop within 6 to 7 months. So that tells me that you are on the right track. It has nothing to do with you, your experience, or your skill set. The job market is trash right now. Just keep doing what you’re doing, and I do believe it’ll pay off. It’s just going to take longer than what any of us expected.

@ thank you! I’m a 25 year Mexican American and I can’t talk to my parents about this because none of them went to college or see why I want to study human trafficking. It’s harder to talk about this with my friends because they don’t have a desire for international relations or for anything beyond their peripheral view, and that might explain why they’re comfortable in their minimum wage jobs and don’t see anything else. I appreciate your feedback and will continued to apply! If you happen to come across and postings- please keep me posted too, I also would like to see more people from black and brown communities in this career path

@ I work in labor exploitation which includes human trafficking.

@ Maybe you should try Peace Corps in a Latin American county where labor exploitation, including trafficking, is prevalent.

Hello! I am so glad that you enjoy my content, but I am sorry to hear that you are in a tough spot. I read what @misschiefmanager6670 wrote and I agree with a lot of what she said. A few things I will add is first, congrats on getting accepted to your PhD!! When you are in the program, be sure to connect with your professors and see if they have any leads. I agree with the previous comment about tailoring your resume and why you stand you. But one thing I will add is networking. You may already be doing this, but for every job or company that you are interested in, I would reach out to the people that work there and the hiring managers on Linkedin. I would introduce myself personally and ask if you talk with them 10 -15 minutes to learn more about the role and company. There present yourself. Also, if the job is close by, I would show up in person and introduce myself. I would bring or create a mock material that could align perfectly with the position to show that you are willing to go the extra mile. I would form relationships with these people so you are not just another name on their list. Getting interviews are huge!! When you have another interview, go even the extra mile and create a product for them or a mock material that could potentially help their business or organization.

Great! More content like this is coming up! Be sure to stay tuned! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Hi Jude! Thanks so much for commenting. It is! But it depends on what you want to do with it. You probably have seen it already, but have you checked out my video on economics and international affairs? ruclips.net/video/eqGOmlHWUVM/видео.html

Hello! Thanks so much for commenting. If that interests you, go for it! I think that is very forward thinking. In my opinion, international business is not going anywhere and it is only going to become hotter with globalization. Also, more companies are looking at ways to become more sustainable. It follows global trends. You can definitely make a meaningful impact :-) Thanks for watching!

Hello!!! An International Territorial Studies course is different from International Studies,BUT there are some similarities. International territorial studies focuses mainly on territories and regions. International studies is a bit more broader and focuses on international relations, global issues, cross cultural understanding, etc. Thanks for your question and watching!

@heymstraveler it mean international territorial studies is different than international studies

A lot of diplomats do have college degrees. However, one of my A-100 colleagues does not.

@heymstraveler just 1 person out of the thousands of Diplomats. Bottom of the totem pole without a degree

You are so right!!! Every experience is a life lesson. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
