Mr. N. WHYTE,
Indeed it has been very difficult to find an entrance/platform into the field of international relations/politics/diplomacy, but it is my main interest and subject. Often they require several years of work experience etc. and therefore it seems to be impossible to start somewhere, and often it is about unpaid traineeships.
Thank you anyhow for the attention.
Yours sincerely,
X

Thank you very much for this. And indeed I tried of course to get short-term contracts via [her country’s government and foreign aid organisations] several years ago, but they require experience and referees. The answer in [her country] is always the same – that it is very difficult.
I did also try, for several years now, all the TA (technical assistance) offices in Brussels, and here the situation is the same, they insist on 5-10 years of experience.
In fact, I had an unpaid offer from you in 1997/98, [my current employers] Brussels office. However, it was not possible to finance an unpaid traineeship.
Yours sincerely and thanks again.,

And of course, no there are NO personal reasons for wanting to be in Brussels. I have been searching both in Brussels and [my country] as well as in other places around the world. It has more to do with the CONTENT, RELEVANCE and SUBSTANCE of the work, and not the city. Assumptions ???
