WELCOME TO CONNEXION 2010! For this 7th edition of our yearly careers forum we have chosen to give our students and partner organisations the chance to meet twice during the year, once in the autumn and again in the spring. Each of these two-day sessions is a unique opportunity to match would-be employers with highly motivated and skilled students and recent graduates, so that together they can use their multidisciplinary expertise and knowledge to tackle the challenges of an increasingly complex and interrelated world.
Our Career Services are now firmly entrenched into our new Communications & Public Relations division which also looks after our Alumni relations. Many of our partners have hired our students; now Alumni they return to Connexion to find the next generation of young employees. The synergies between our Career Services and the Alumni Office are tremendous and this year’s Connexion shows the fidelity and engagement of our alumni in helping students embark upon their careers.
Recent data has revealed the breadth of career outcomes of our recent graduates. An equal number join the public and private sector, with one quarter embracing non-profit organisations (see p. 24–25). This new equilibrium is indicative of the importance of international relations for all stakeholders in the evolving multilateral environment. It also reflects the unique networking opportunities of our students and recent graduates offered by International Geneva.
As new division head I welcome you to Connexion 2010 and look forward to personally meeting both students and employers intra muros. Jacqueline Coté Head of Communications & Public Relations

employers’ testimonials
Helen King Patricot Consultant IMF Recruitement Paris Office International Monetary Fund (IMF/FMI)
You have been recruiting at the Institute for several years. How does this collaboration benefit you? The IMF has historically maintained a dynamic relationship with the Institute. Not only over the years have a significant number of your alumni worked in the Fund, but the two institutions continue to cooperate on research projects and matters pertaining to global macroeconomic policy. Regarding recruitment, the Institute, being one of the top ranking academic institutions in Europe for PhD studies in economics, is a valuable benchmark for identification of Economist Programme candidates. Further, the Institute acts as a conduit, disseminating information regarding the Fund’s recruitment objectives to French speaking universities in the Swiss market and allowing the Fund to use its premises to give
recruitment presentations and interview candidates. The IMF greatly appreciates the professional quality of the support provided to it with respect to its recruitment missions in Switzerland. What qualities do our students have that particularly interest you? The students we meet at the Institute typically have a strong macroeconomic base and applied policy capacity. Those who have participated in the Swiss Progamme also have a good understanding of financial markets which is of considerable interest to the IMF. In addition, many of the students at the Institute have a global perspective in terms of their capacity to opine on policy matters, partially a reflection of their
Employers’ Testimonials
international diversity and multi-lingual language skills. We are delighted that two PhD students from the Institute have been selected to join the IMF’s 2010 Economist Programme. What types of profiles are you most particularly interested in? The Fund is a more homogenous multilateral organisation than others. Thus, its needs are focused on identifying those who have strong macroeconomic capacity. Those candidates who succeed in the recruitment process typically can provide a good analysis of monetary, fiscal, balance of payments and exchange rate policy issues and thus would be perceived to be versatile in the IMF. Fungibility between departments is critical in the Fund as our staff do not remain in one department for more than several years. In addition, we are interested in candidates

with strong financial sector expertise, although such candidates must also be able to analyse macroeconomic policy issues. Further, strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in teams are critical. Is your recruitment carried out based on nationality quotas? In view of the international character of the IMF, the Fund does not hire on the basis of nationality quotas. It strives to maintain a balanced representation among all its member countries.
Nathalie Perez Young Talent Development Specialist HSBC Private Bank

témoignages d’étudiants

Nadia Boehlen Doctorat HPI Communications Manager Greenpeace
Quel à été votre parcours ? J’ai toujours choisi mes études ainsi que mes emplois en fonction de mes intérêts du moment et des opportunités qui se présentaient à moi. Je n’ai jamais eu de plan de carrière précis. Après avoir obtenu mon doctorat en Histoire et politique internationales (HPI) à l’Institut, j’ai enseigné le français à l’Université de Salvador de Bahia. A mon retour en Suisse, j’ai notamment travaillé comme collaboratrice scientifique au Bureau cantonal pour l’intégration des étrangers de Zurich avant d’être engagée chez Greenpeace. Avez-vous travaillé en parallèle à vos études à l’Institut ? Oui, comme documentaliste à la Télévision suisse romande et comme animatrice pour une radio locale. J’ai obtenu
ensuite une bourse du Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique (FNS), et des postes d’assistante d’enseignement à l’Institut et à la Faculté des lettres de Genève. Pour quelle raison avez-vous choisi une carrière dans une organisation environnementale internationale ? La rédaction d’une thèse de doctorat est très stimulante intellectuellement, mais requiert une énorme quantité de travail en solitaire. J’ai donc cherché ensuite un emploi qui me permette de travailler en équipe, tout en faisant appel aux outils intellectuels acquis lors de mes études.
Matija Kovac Master in International Affairs (MIA) Consultant Weber Shandwick
What has been your career path to date? I started as a radio speaker, then worked for local human rights NGOs and international student organisations. After coming to the Graduate Institute I focused on humanitarian affairs (internships, consultancies and assistant positions), but then somehow surprisingly finished up as a Public relations (PR) and communications consultant in the global PR agency Weber Shandwick. I would eventually like to focus once again on humanitarian affairs. Why did you choose to study at the Institute? It was recommended to me as an institution that offered high quality postgraduate education, where I could find a proper balance between disciplinary expertise and interdisciplinarity.
Did you work during your studies? Yes. At the end of my first year I completed an internship for OCHA, which was followed by a short term UNICEF consultancy. In the second year I worked full-time as an assistant for humanitarian affairs and disarmament for the EU Presidency. Why did you choose a career in PR and communications? This was pure coincidence, although I wanted to try out the private sector, and I assumed that a real-time global PR agency experience would be beneficial for everything I wish to do in the future. In your opinion, what are the qualities necessary for a successful career in PR and communications?
Témoignages d’étudiants
There are consultants and good consultants. Both of them need to know how to improvise; but the good consultant needs “the guts” to challenge the client and deliver the truth, even if it hurts sometimes. And being solution-oriented and active is crucial. Did the Institute prepare you well? Yes. The Institute played a crucial – positive – role in my professional development. What advantages did the Institute give you from an intellectual point of view? An interdisciplinary approach and an incentive to challenge the world around me; small classes and engaging professors who are at the top of their fields.
| 29
What is your current position at Weber Shandwick and what are your responsibilities? As a junior PR consultant my tasks and responsibilities vary from client to client. I take part in PR strategy developments (developing communications strategies and activities with and for clients), operational tasks (day-to-day media relations, i.e. pitching and responding to journalists’ requests, topic research and media monitoring) and on-site support. A diverse clientele means diverse tasks. What skills have you retained from your time at the Institute? Writing and analytical skills, widely applicable research methods and, of course, substantial knowledge.
Thierry Kellner Doctorat HPI Chercheur associé Institut de sociologie de l’Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) et chercheur au Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies (BICCS)
Quel a été votre parcours ? Depuis la réalisation de ma thèse de doctorat à l’Institut, je travaille dans la recherche et l’enseignement au niveau académique en collaboration avec des universités et des centres de recherche, tant en Belgique qu’en France et en Suisse. Pourquoi avez-vous choisi d’étudier à l’Institut ? J’avais repéré l’Institut depuis longtemps en raison de sa réputation internationale, du caractère bilingue et multidisciplinaire de son enseignement et surtout de l’excellence de son corps professoral. J’avais eu la chance d’assister à une impressionnante conférence du professeur Ph. Burrin à l’ULB, de lire des publications de M.-R. Djalili et de fréquenter les publications des excellents juristes de l’Institut dans le cadre de mes études de droit international. Quel est votre souvenir le plus marquant de vos études à l’Institut ? Il y aurait beaucoup de choses à dire, certaines très sérieuses, d’autres pas du tout car liées à la vie estudiantine de l’époque,
dont les arcanes doivent être préservés… Le cadre de l’Institut m’a beaucoup frappé la première fois que je m’y suis rendu, pour sa beauté. La bibliothèque aussi, pour sa richesse. Mais je dois surtout parler de l’enseignement qui a marqué mon orientation professionnelle. D’abord, le séminaire du professeur G. Etienne et les discussions épiques que nous avons eues. Des discussions parfois très éloignées du sujet du jour, mais toujours extrêmement enrichissantes car liées à l’histoire, à la géographie, à la littérature ou à la culture de l’Asie et de l’Europe quand ce n’étaient pas des références africaines ou américaines… Je dois ensuite évoquer la découverte extraordinaire pour moi de la richesse du monde turco-iranien et des espaces asiatiques de la Méditerranée à la muraille de Chine, grâce à l’enseignement raffiné de M.-R. Djalili. Et enfin, le souvenir impressionnant du séminaire d’histoire des relations internationales donné par le professeur A. Liebich. Un cours donné à une classe des plus cosmopolites, très attentive et impressionnée par l’étendue des connaissances de notre
Témoignages d’étudiants
nouveau professeur. Un souvenir qui fait encore frissonner mes anciens camarades de classe lorsque nous l’évoquons… Pour quelle raison avez-vous choisi une carrière dans la recherche ? Le principal élément est le plaisir. J’ai le goût de la lecture, de l’étude, de la découverte. Quoi de mieux alors que la recherche académique ? Le corollaire de cela est naturellement l’enseignement, car ce qu’on a pris plaisir à apprendre, on a tout autant de plaisir à le transmettre… Selon vous, quelles sont les qualités nécessaires pour une brillante carrière dans la recherche ? Comme dans tous les domaines : la volonté, la persévérance, la discipline et le travail. Si vous ajoutez le plaisir et une touche d’humour et d’autodérision cela devrait aider. L’Institut vous y a-t-il bien préparé ? Sans aucun doute. Il suffit que je remémore mes années de DES et les exigences du diplôme, puis celles du doctorat à l’Institut pour voir que ces qualités étaient indispensables…
| 31
Quels sont les avantages que l’Institut vous a donnés d’un point de vue intellectuel ? L’Institut m’a offert une occasion extraordinaire d’ouvrir mes horizons intellectuels grâce aux enseignements multidisciplinaires prodigués, à la richesse de la bibliothèque, à la rencontre avec des étudiants et des enseignants provenant d’autres espaces géographiques et d’autres cultures, mais aussi grâce aux conférences et rencontres offertes dans le cadre de l’Institut ou à l’Université de Genève. Quelles sont les compétences que vous avez acquises lors de vos années à l’Institut ? La capacité de travail, le goût du travail bien fait et du détail, la discipline, mais aussi l’esprit de synthèse et la curiosité intellectuelle.
Deia Nguyen Diplôme d’études supérieures (DES) HPI Associé Heidrick & Struggles
Quel a été votre parcours ? J’ai obtenu une Maîtrise d’histoire à la Sorbonne, un diplôme en relations internationales à l’Institut et un Master en études européennes à la University College London et à l’Université de Berne. J’ai ensuite effectué un stage de six mois à l’ambassade de Suisse à Jakarta puis un mandat de cinq mois à Bruxelles auprès d’economiesuisse. Depuis juillet 2006, je travaille à Zurich comme associé chez Heidrick & Struggles, l’un des leaders mondiaux du recrutement de dirigeants et de cadres dirigeants. Pourquoi avez-vous choisi d’étudier à l’Institut ? J’ai été séduit par l’approche multidisciplinaire et par les possibilités d’une carrière internationale. Sur ce dernier point, je dois admettre que le diplôme de l’Institut m’a ouvert de nombreuses portes. Quel est votre souvenir le plus marquant de vos études à l’Institut ? Je me souviens en particulier de la richesse des interactions humaines, culturelles et intellectuelles. Le fait que plus d’une
centaine de nationalités soient représentées est quelque chose d’unique. L’institut est en quelque sorte un « village global » ! Avez-vous travaillé en parallèle à vos études ? J’ai effectué plusieurs stages dans la communication et les médias, notamment auprès des chaînes de télévision France 3 et TV5 avant d’être engagé comme rédacteur à l’ATS, l’équivalent suisse de l’Agence France Presse (AFP). Pour quelle raison avez-vous choisi une carrière dans le recrutement de cadres ? Après avoir un temps songé à embrasser une carrière de diplomate, mon attirance pour le monde de l’entreprise l’a emporté. Un consultant chez Heidrick & Struggles est un interlocuteur privilégié des décideurs internationaux. J’aime ces interactions au plus haut niveau ainsi que le large éventail de compétences et de connaissances que je peux développer : leadership, management de projet, expertise fonctionnelle et sectorielle, réseautage, sans oublier les langues. Je trouve mon travail très gratifiant car il s’agit ici d’aider des personnes à réaliser leur potentiel tout en contribuant au succès des entreprises.
Témoignages d’étudiants
Selon vous, quelles sont les qualités nécessaires pour faire carrière dans le recrutement ? Ce métier requiert leadership, esprit d’analyse et de synthèse, créativité, bon jugement, aisance relationnelle, curiosité intellectuelle ainsi que la faculté de construire un vaste réseau de relations. Ensuite, il faut des compétences interculturelles, une solide résistance au stress et le goût pour le travail en équipe. Enfin, les valeurs de respect, d’éthique et d’intégrité sont indispensables. Il s’agit d’une véritable école des relations humaines. L’Institut vous y a-t-il bien préparé ? Oui, il y a de nombreux parallèles, notamment à travers l’approche pluridisciplinaire et les interactions avec des personnes aux profils académiques, professionnels et culturels très différents.
| 33
Quelle position occupez-vous au sein de Heidrick & Struggles et quelles sont vos responsabilités ? En tant qu’associé de la Global Consumer & Luxury practice, je gère des projets de recrutement dans les secteurs des biens de consommation et du luxe. Du point de vue fonctionnel, je suis spécialisé dans des fonctions de corporate strategy, direction générale, marketing, vente, production et innovation. Je travaille essentiellement sur des projets internationaux, ce qui implique des interactions quotidiennes avec des clients, candidats et collègues du monde entier. Quelles sont les compétences que vous avez acquises lors de vos années à l’Institut ? Rigueur analytique, approche globale, compétences relationnelles et interculturelles, réseautage, pensée « out of the box » et surtout, la capacité de remettre en question les idées reçues.
