Ilkmade is a global community of Politics and International Relations professionals and students. An ilk is a tribe or a group that shares a common purpose. Our mission is to provide a platform where people in common industries can share ideas on career development and advance their work. Ilkmade does this in the following three ways:
We’re always looking for fantastic writers and interesting article ideas! To submit an article for consideration, please email contact@ilkmade.com with the following information.
At the start of every month, we publish job listings and internship opportunities across many sectors (except for academic ones found easily on association boards). We target organizations that value Politics and IR degree holders across the world. If you have an open listing accessible with a URL, please send us a link at contact@ilkmade.com, and we will try to include it in our upcoming month’s listings.
International Relations is a niche field of study and work that requires some insider knowledge on how and where people in the profession interact. While a great career coach can give you general advice on how to tackle tasks more effectively, an Ilkmade Mentor can provide valuable, highly-targeted insights on your chosen career path within the International Relations and Politics space, leveraging their networks to help you succeed.
This depends on your needs as we tailor each Session to your unique goals. If you’re curious about which Session would be best for you, email us at contact@ilkmade.com and we’ll provide guidance. Working with a Mentor is a great way to get started on mapping your career or to polish a CV intended for a job application. We offer pay as you go Sessions as well as a Starter Pack of 3 Sessions at a discounted rate.
Our Experts are powerhouse leaders and have been vetted by Ilkmade as passionate career resources in their fields (from international NGOs to top research consultants). Their time is valuable. An Expert Session includes the following:
We understand that this is a big investment. We trust that our Mentor and selected Experts will help you achieve your career goals. However, if you do not have a great experience, we will work with you to make it right. If you need to cancel or reschedule your Session, we ask that you do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled Session so our Mentor and Experts can make other arrangements.
