Having just returned from the United States of America for two days, I quickly went to attend a career forum at Koh Pech on Sunday 13, 2010. There were a huge crowd of young adults who are striving to get information about job opportunities. I was one of them.
I have already had an idea which spot I was heading to among the countless job advertisements which were designed in different stands and logos. It was UNDP and UNICEF where I was keen on knowing more in details.
After listening to some student's inquiries about the opportunities at these two big organization, I also raised my hand by introducing myself.
My name is Ms Utara Norng. I am recent graduate from my Master of Arts in Economic Policy at Williams College, Massachusetts, USA under Fulbright Scholarship. I have had four year experiences working at the Documentation Center of Cambodia and two years experience working as a Witness Assistant at the Extraordinary Chamber in the Court of Cambodia. I am loooking for job in which its projects is focusing on poverty alleviations.
I had warmth responses from both Mr Ismael Y. Toorawa, Deputy Country Director at the United Nations Development Programme(UNDP) and Mr Charles Parks, Chief of Operations at United Nations Children's Fund(UNICEF). They gave me thorough information about the job opportunities at the organizations. In the mean time, I was encouraged to send my curricum vitae in case there is a new vacancies which fits to my area of interest, qualifications, and experiences.
Having attended the career forum, I found that it was very beneficial. My purpose is to shift my career which is related to my field of studies in Economic Policy. However, it is quite challenging because I have different working experiences.
Making a career shift is critical and fascinating at the same time. I strongly hope that upon completing my studies, I would be able to apply my previous working experiences as well as my knowledge in Economic Policy in relevant programs at either UNDP or UNICEF.
