[Jennifer Kern · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Working for Change fills a real gap for students of international development. It is not just about how to find a job. It is about how to plan a career--how to find mentors and role models, to build networks and to make transitions. It is about grounding professional growth on personal values and aspirations. This book will be an invaluable guide to students, and to faculty who advise them."
