NONPROFIT JOB HUNTING

Following the old adage "write about what you know", today's focus is job hunting!

One great part of working in the nonprofit sector is how many industry specific job rags there are to choose from. If you asked me where to look I'd say (in no particular order): "Opportunity Nocs, Nonprofit Oyster, Idealist, Chronicle of Philanthropy".

But there is so much more:
Idealist.org A project of Action Without Borders, global clearinghouse of nonprofit resources, including jobs, internships, mailing lists, and nonprofit resources by state & country.
Opportunity NOCS
A resource for nonprofit jobs and employment opportunities.

Pam:

More than your great list of job-hunter's tools, I appreciate your style and tone. Because there are so many employed in the npo sector as the "minority" wage earner. You know the drill, when the primary breadwinners move so must the minority member. And because there is an emerging movement of aging baby boomers who are looking at retirement or near retirement, and now seeing npo work as the way they'd like to do more and do it for "right" purposes. I will send all to your site.
In the meantime, may you be blessed with landing in a place that makes both your mind and heart sing.

It’s the beginning of a new year, and many people are setting goals, making plans, and considering changes. If a job change is on your horizon, especially one within the nonprofit sector, it’s important not only to consider where you might find an open position, but also to take a step back to understand what your motivations are for seeking a new nonprofit role, where your skills and experiences might be most beneficial, and which roles might suit you best.

I've always wondered... do people that work @ non-profit companies make a living from that? Or is it usually just people volunteering??
