Volunteer to support your job search
- I had a client a few months ago who was having a hard time breaking into a nonprofit fundraising role. She found that her community was small and often these roles went to people who had experience. She decided to start networking with two of the nonprofits that she really admired and that she wanted to work for. She got in on their Young Friends club and she got to know the key stakeholders at both of these institutions. When an opportunity came up at one of the organizations that she was really interested in, she was the very first person that they thought about because she built the relationship with them. Volunteering is a great way to meet and build relationships with key decision makers at industries or organizations that you're passionate about.
