I applied back in March and started a month ago - government takes forever, haha.
So the job is as a Risk Adviser for AusAID - Australian Agency for International Development. At this stage in my career, this is my total dream job! This is a massive step in the right direction for my ultimate career goal (working for the UN) so getting this job was amazingly awesome.
I am so excited to be back in the international arena because I have missed it so!
And it gets better - there will be lots of travel! Part of my job will be to go out to our overseas posts to train them in how to manage risk. The majority of travel will be to Pacific Islands and South Asia, but hopefully a few glamorous locations like Paris and Geneva too!
So, in case you can't tell, I loooove my job! I can't get over how awesome it is!
