Amanda Reinke: Many industries are looking for conflict resolution experts with adaptable skills. As you embark on a career in conflict resolution, ask yourself: what is my niche? It could be a specific skillset in conflict resolution (e.g., facilitation, negotiation, mediation, etc.) or an area of work (e.g., healthcare, employment settings, court, contracts, etc.). Look for opportunities to network, and for continuing education opportunities to deepen your knowledge in the niche you have identified.
Amanda Reinke: Skills in managing cross-cultural conflict or issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are pressing issues and in high demand. Whether it's a workplace dispute resolution, diplomacy, humanitarian, or courts role, skills in working with diverse groups and resolving conflict in these settings are critical and often sought after by government, non-profit, and private employment sectors.
