Hello and thank you for making this space available.

From a recruiter's point of view, what is your take on pitching high impact organizations directly? What, if anything, could make this approach work, and what mistakes do pitchers make? Any other tips on using this approach would be highly appreciated. 

Hi, 

I am from a lower-middle-income country (Lesotho) and have a Masters in Public Health. I want to use my career to do impactful work related to Health, but there are few organizations in the Effective Altruism community considered as 'impactful' in the country, for example none suggested by Givewell. At the same time, the country faces high unemployment rates if I were to consider having an impact through civil service. Options to do good according to effective altruism feel out of reach for me as a citizen of Lesotho. How do I navigate having an impact in a low-resource setting? Thanks so much. 

This article is thought provoking and captures the importance of valuing every life, and I think is so important to sensitize people to that value that all life has. The idea that we can't care enough based on feeling it but should trust numbers in our action to trying to make a change for the better to me is so well expressed. Thank you for this piece.
