Idealist Webinar Series

Webinar #24 • May 11, 2010 • Career Transitions

What do students need to know to land a nonprofit job? (For students in their junior and senior years)

If you register for this webinar, you'll receive: 1) Access to and a chance to participate in the webinar, including the ability to ask questions of the presenters, 2) Unlimited access to the archived version of this webinar, and 3) Any relevant handouts and resource overviews to use in your career services office. Learn more.

This webinar explores the statistics, tips, and insider advice for navigating the nonprofit hiring process. We will discuss the resource barriers (fiscal and human resource constraints); the frequency with which nonprofits hire and recruit through their internal network; and ways for job seekers to get involved while strengthening their candidacy.

Topics include:

  • Resource Barriers: the economics of the sector and the lack of professionalized HR role, centralized job postings, and recruitment
  • "The Inside Job": nonprofit organizations are much more likely to hire people they know
  • The Numbers: How nonprofits recruit and what they value in job candidates
  • Ways to get involved and strengthen candidacy: it usually starts pro bono but that doesn't mean it isn't worth something

This webinar focuses on resources and timelines that are relevant to college students who are about to graduate. We designed this webinar for students, so we encourage you to set up a space where students can come, watch, and participate in the webinar directly. As with all webinars in this series, with registration you will receive unlimited access to the screencast of the webinar you sign up for, so you will be able to host as many student viewings as you want following the original broadcast.
