Everything a consultant needs: The  All-in-One membership at DevelopmentAid

Over the years, DevelopmentAid has offered development professionals a variety of different membership plans to best suit their individual needs and budgets. However, some experts wanted access to the full range of tools and services that DevelopmentAid has so that they could turbocharge their careers.

Therefore, we introduced the All-in-One Membership plan. As the name suggests, we are giving members access to every tool, every database, and every career-enhancing service that we offer, all for one reasonable price.

The benefits are almost too many to list, but they include:

  • Consultancy opportunities for development professionals, including customizable alerts.
  • In-depth, tailored research on salary trends for your field of specialty.
  • Unlimited access to job announcements, including customizable alerts.
  • Access to the complete library of webinars and presentations from industry insiders.
  • Grant opportunities for individuals, including customizable alerts.
  • Cover letter and CV Tailoring service to strengthen your applications and get shortlisted.
  • CV Broadcast tool for reaching organizations and agencies directly.
  • Access to all shortlisted and awarded tender information.
  • Contact information for organizations and donor agencies.

In addition, you’ll also get a profile boost, enhancing your exposure to member organizations while improving your standing in the international aid community.

Furthermore, All-in-One members receive one exclusive market intelligence report at no additional cost. The report provides detailed insights into market trends, including forward planning by donor agencies. The cost of one report for regular members is €300.

All-in-One membership: Everything you need to advance your international development career

These days, scouring the job boards and responding to opportunities one at a time is only a fraction of the effort needed to succeed in a highly competitive market. Regrettably, many individual professionals miss out because they face one or more of the following:

  • They don’t have one-stop access to all relevant career opportunities, including individual consultancy assignments, grants, and job postings.
  • Their CV doesn’t adequately demonstrate the full range of their skills and expertise.
  • Donor agencies and organizations simply don’t know how to find them or that they’re available.

This is exactly what the All-in-One membership package has been designed to solve.

With just a few clicks, All-in-One members will have access to all relevant opportunities, including the option to create customizable alerts.

All-in-One members also get access to the career-enhancing CV and cover letter tailoring service that optimizes these critical documents for best results.

Finally, All-in-One members benefit from the CV Broadcast tool, which reaches the inboxes of targeted organizations and agencies, letting them know you have the expertise they’re looking for and are available for work.

Access to opportunities from around the globe

We live in a digitally connected world now, which means that successful development professionals need access to opportunities from all over, including:

  • Job postings.
  • Information about shortlisted projects.
  • Contact information for organizations and donor agencies.
  • Grants and tenders for individuals.
  • Consultancies for individuals.
  • Information about sanctioned organizations.
  • Information about awarded tenders.
  • Salary trends and compensation information for their sector.

All this and more allows All-in-One members to get access to all the relevant information they need in one place while also receiving customizable alerts based on their interests and field of specialty.

Maximize your chances with Shortlists

One of the most lucrative opportunities for individual professionals arises when a project gets to the “Shortlists” phase. That’s when the shortlisted organizations begin their search for staff and/or outside consultants to help them fulfill the requirements for their bid and get awarded the project.

Unfortunately, many professionals miss out at this step simply because the shortlisted organizations either don’t know that they’re available or because their CV doesn’t clearly demonstrate the skills and expertise the organizations are looking for.

All-in-One members get access to cover letter and CV tailoring services from the Career Center Advisors at DevelopmentAid, helping them to better position themselves for organizations working in the field of international development.

Get discovered by organizations and donor agencies

Many organizations and companies build their own private expert databases or longlists before vacancies are publicly advertised so they can get a jump on the competition when new opportunities arise.

As such, individual professionals can benefit by getting their name out there using tools like the CV Broadcast, which distributes your profile to relevant organizations and companies, making them aware of your expertise and availability.

Rather than relying solely on responding to published opportunities, being proactive and reaching out ahead of time also creates opportunities where you may be contacted directly for future projects and assignments.

Who is the All-in-One membership for?

Certainly, there are other membership packages designed for professionals with stricter budgets and more targeted career needs. But for those experts who want to maximize their chances at landing a lucrative job or consultancy opportunity via every medium possible, the All-in-One membership was designed specifically for you.

The All-in-One membership is recommended for:

  • Experts looking to build long-term visibility and relationships within the sector.
  • Early and mid-career consultants.
  • Technical specialists transitioning from the public or private sector into development.
  • Professionals preparing for their next staff position or consultancy.
  • Experts just entering the sector who want a competitive advantage.

The All-in-One membership is a worthwhile investment in finding your next opportunity while building long-term visibility in the international aid community. Normally, the All-in-One membership plan goes for €829 per year, but for a limited time only, you can get it for just €599 a year, a savings of €230!
