Diplomacy Society: Career Officer

Hi! 

My name’s Pani, I’m a second year studying Crime and Security Science and I’m running for Career Officer of the Diplomacy Society for this year. I’m excited to apply because I’m genuinely passionate about helping our members explore and access the most rewarding career paths in diplomacy and international affairs. Having served as the president of my high school Newsletter Club and MUN Club in senior year, I have some experience in leadership, event planning, and connecting students with meaningful opportunities. 

If I’m elected, I currently have a few ideas to implement:

1. First, I’m eager to organize career fairs with professionals in the field to both introduce students to specific job opportunities and to increase networking possibilities with diplomats and policy analysts. 

2. Next, we could create Career Skills workshops wherein members can improve CV writing, public speaking, and experience related skills. 

3. Finally, I have the idea of a series of panels with alumni and experts who can share advice. 

I believe university is the best time to build the foundation of our careers, and I’m eager to help everyone make the most of this opportunity. I would be grateful to be your Career Officer and contribute to this society’s members. Thanks for considering me!

You want to work in diplomacy. And when asked “But what exactly do you want to do?”, you find yourself mumbling “uhm… something in International Relations?” but don’t really know what’s out there? That’s where I come in.

As your Careers Officer, I want to make sure everyone, no matter their background, has equal access to opportunities and information to turn ideas into real paths. I’ll bring you a range of speakers, career panels and internship insights to help you see yourself in diplomacy.

I know building solid foundations for a new Careers Branch is a big challenge, but that’s what motivates me. I’ll take initiative to make it a lasting and reliable project for future members.

I’ve spent two years at Sciences Po Paris as part of my dual degree, where I built a strong network of friends now pursuing master’s degrees or working in international organisations, connections I’d love to share with our members.

I previously led the Europe Branch of SPUN’s Education Team, Sciences Po’s largest diplomacy society. By reaching out to schools, embassies and NGOs, I secured partnerships and led projects to inspire high-school students to discover diplomacy.

Building on that experience, now in London, I want to go further: not only to spark your passion, but to make it tangible. To help you imagine a future in diplomacy, and actually take your first step toward it.

I’d be thrilled to bring this energy to the Diplomacy Society. And if you’d like to get to know me better, just reach out!
