I am terribly excited.  I have been able to apply for my first paid peace sector role.  It is as an Operations Manager for the Peace Pledge Union.  It uses my training, is in exactly the sort of organisation I want to work for and totally conforms to what I want to do.

My ambition in 2012 when I started was to work in war prevention.  Supporting those who are campaigning to promote the idea that war is not the answer, that there are alternatives, matches my experience and skills.

Now I just need to hope I get an interview…
