Working for an NGO
Hi all,
I would very much like to work for an NGO such as the International Red Cross or Medicin Sans Frontiers doing field work.
I've tried sending them emails asking what they look for as basic qualifications but I'm not getting any replies back.
Would anyone out there be able to give me an insight? I have an international business degree and medical work in a hospital. Thanks in advance.

Or try phoning his office. (Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I'm of the opinion that the telephone is a far more efficient means of communication than e-mail): 020 787 770 48
Alternatively, why not phone ICRC HQ and ask to speak to someone about recruitment?: 00 41 22 733 20 57

Ooh, thanks! I sent a couple of emails to the Geneva address and got no reply so sent one to the UK address. I got a reply from them saying they were passing it onto the Geneva office as I wanted international work and heard nothing. So I'm figuring its the ICRC are an email abyss!
I think I'll give them a call Monday.
Much obliged.
