Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My circuitous, undirected path to an EA job, published by Seth Ariel Green on July 7, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last week, I started a full-time position at the Humane and Sustainable Food Lab, and I've been reflecting a bit on how convoluted and indirect my path here was. I thought that journey might be worth sharing. In the genre of "Well, how did I get here?," I appreciate Johannes Haushofer's CV of failures for helping compensate for selection bias in career stories. If we only see the things that go right and the outcomes that emerge from them, we'll have a very truncated sense of what actually leads to what. So here's my story. Stage 1 (2006-2010): Aiming to be a political science professor I went to a small US college whose graduates are overrepresented in EA and in PhD programs. Most of my friends ended up getting PhDs and were pretty serious academically. I liked them, and I liked my professors, so I opted to board the same train. I majored in political science, which was the path of least resistance. In those classes, I got good grades without having to grind too much, and I found an environment in which, as Timothy Burke observes, professors would "pat you on the head and tell you how wonderfully smart you are for sassing them." Stage 2 (2010-2013): Trying other paths for a few years As a senior in college, I had an intuition that 21 was a bit young to start a PhD,[1] so I did other stuff for a while: An Americorps program where I worked as a teacher's aide in a kindergarten classroom in D.C. Taught English in Thailand to middle and high schoolers A two-semester internship at a think tank at which I produced approximately zero output. I wanted to see if any job seemed like a better fit than"professor at Swarthmore/Middlebury/Pomona/etc.,[2]" but nothing seemed more compelling.[3] I applied to political science PhD programs in fall 2012 and chose Columbia because I wanted to be in NY and because there were professors I wanted to work with. I enrolled in fall 2013. Stage 3 (2013-2015): Grad school is not a good fit My first year in graduate school -- again as Timothy Burke would have predicted-- was very challenging and not at all like college. I took survey courses with giants in the field and was bored senseless. The required stats classes were total drink-from-the-firehose experiences. I thought I was picking up enough to get by, but I wasn't, a fact I was alerted to when I got a letter from the department chair saying that my academic performance was not meeting expectations. So I wouldn't say grad school went very well. I did however, fall in with a dyed-in-the-wool dyexperimentalist as my advisor who I really like and with whom I'm still friends. I took a few classes with him and we had some projects I was excited about. However, when people in the department looked at these projects, they often asked: how does this fit into our discipline? At the end of my second year, I failed my comprehensive exams in American Politics. At the beginning of what would have been my third year, I failed them again, this time in both American and Comparative politics. I just wasn't cut out to be a political scientist, and I was told to leave the program and venture into the real world. (I got a consolation M.A.) Stage 4 (2016-2017) Transitioning to tech This was a difficult period in my life. My first job, at a well-regarded international development NGO, fell apart after a few months. The organization was going through a serious restructuring amidst some troubling budget irregularities, and I was among those who fell somewhere on the spectrum between "left" and "asked to leave." (I still don't have total clarity into what happened behind the scenes.[4]) At that point, I felt like a total failure, like no job would ever work out. One morning in spring 2016, ...

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.Date: 18 February 2020 Did you know in 2018 the Modern Slavery Act came into affect for all businesses over $100M profit? It means they must report on the people and materials in their supply chains to prove they are not involved in what’s termed modern slavery. Whether it be working conditions, where your raw materials come from, or worse, it’s not something any business needs on their record. So, it may not relevant to us now but we in small business know it won’t be long before this piece of legislation is coming for us too. But what if I told you that you can opt in? Having this tick of approval might help you get that lucrative corporate or govt contract. Or really prove you’re as socially conscious as you claim. So understanding and mitigating the risks in your supply chain is ethically important. So what is the 2018 Modern Slavery Act, the process for reporting and how is it now and into the future going to affect small businesses in Australia? Stephen and Sarah Morse already have decades of experience in this industry, some not so positive but are putting all of this into supporting businesses to understand the Act, be compliant and decrease their exposure to the Modern Slavery trade. Welcome to the show Stephen & Sarah. Topics we’ll be covering: What is the act and how does it affect small business in terms of compliance? Tendering process is where the majority of transparency needs to be shown Mandatories - affects $100 gross profit, dept home affairs administrators, approx 3000 entities at moment but likely to expand These entities (or those who wish to opt in) have to report every year. Guidelines include 7 steps, how have you investigated and consulted to mediate the risk, what KPIs are you putting in place. Reasonable steps are the expectation. The trickle down affect will mean all suppliers (inc small business) need to demonstrate compliance (opt-in) to maintain and tender. transparency (explore their supply chain risk and exposure Why is it beneficial for a small business to opt in (see it as an opportunity, remain competitive, tenders for govt and corporate & consumer pressures) What could you do to show leadership & how is this helping globally Attracting new talent, making it part of your DNA, KPIs Engaging with NGOs who are working in this space - examples, share value partnerships, the 1% theory It’s not just about compliance Broadly your small business journey and what led you to start this business and why you’re passionate about supporting small business Healthcare & Humanitarian backgrounds, Christian mission support Own faith convictions around poverty, justice & investigations in Spain & Europe free movements into different areas, porous borders, geopolitical factors, Taught English to business Completed a PHD examining socioeconomic factors of people trafficking Upon return to Aust we were going to return to Aust, but the campaign fell apart due to family circumstances Clean start, but keeping in touch with networks for modern slavery Talk to the legislation - how did it come about and who did they consult with? Legal professors, chambers Politically driven to happen before Federal legislation The global market in which we work, how does this impact small business supply chains What is the slave trade - definitions, inproving wages, workplace health & safety, access to healthcare, education, the broader community How to engage with an expert as a small business and what can you expect them to do to help you? Stephen & sarah - gaps analysis, risk assessment in the supply chain What are some of the ways we can, as business consumers, make those decisions Recommended orgs which have business supplies To find out more go to their website: www.unchained.net.au Sarah Morse, Founder and Director With over twenty years of global leadership experience, Sarah’s work draws upon lessons learnt while leading teams in humanitarian work internationally, and as a cancer nurse in Australia.

He also uses his cross-cultural leadership experience to help develop critical skills in a global marketplace. Unchained Business Services Unchained was founded by Stephen and Sarah in 2018. They inspire Australian companies to leaders in combatting modern slavery through their keynotes and masterclasses, and through the Readiness Framework, where they help companies to implement the Modern Slavery Act.
