Message-ID: <000101bdda44$7241fb40$a44aa8c2@default> Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 10:46:54 +0100 From: Bryan Hopkins <mailto:bryan.hopkins@VIRGIN.NET> Subject: Advice on finding consultancy work To: mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU
This is a request for some advice on how to get back in to the development field professionally. I am currently a training consultant based in the United Kingdom.I spent five years working in the Sudan and the Gambia on educational projects between 1977 and 1984, and during that time also acquired an M.Sc. in development and technology from the University of London. I then decided to spend some time developing some specific professional expertise, and am now a skilled training consultant, specialising in training needs analyses and the development of distance learning solutions. I have also published a book on designing information for intranets.
Now that I have acquired this expertise I would like to find some short term assignments in the LDCs where my skills would be of value, but I am coming up against the old problem of not having enough perceived recent overseas experience. I would value any suggestions as to what I could do to get started again in the development field, so if anyone has any ideas or would like to know more about what I can do, please get in touch.
