Nonprofit research and networking

While it is true that networking and researching opportunities is the cornerstone of any job search, this is all the more true in the nonprofit sector.

This webinar explores:

  • The numbers behind why networking and intentional relationship building is essential
  • Ways to make yourself a stronger nonprofit candidate, including volunteering, internships, industry publications, mentoring opportunities, and education options
  • The role of community in networking and ways to strengthen involvement in preexisting groups
  • Both strong and weak links in your life and how they can help you strengthen your nonprofit network
  • Steps to develop an "elevator pitch" in order to quickly and concisely convey networking needs
  • How to request and conduct an informational interview as well as why this is a key component of intentional networking
