Tips for beginners

Maria Giglio Legal and Advocacy Intern at Consortium for Street Children Posted 7 years ago

 
Hi everybody!
I have just moved from Italy to London. I graduated in law 5 years ago. After having worked in the legal sector (mainly contracts etc) since then, I would like to change my perspective and build a more society-centred career. I am very interested in the International Development sector, and that is why I am starting an MSc in Social Sciences at LSE in September. Since I will have time to spare before the course starts, I would like to use it to get some practical idea on what working in the Charity sector means, maybe by volunteering, taking an internship or a temporary job.  Do you have any tips on where should I take a look at, also considering my legal background/working experience?
Thank you all and have a nice day!
