Common Nonprofit Career Search Questions with Meg Busse

Any of these questions sound familiar?

• I hate networking but I hear it’s essential to get a nonprofit job. Where should I start?
• How can I get an employer to see my value if I don't have a lot of work experience?
• Should I follow up to see the status of my job application if I haven't heard back?
• I'm thinking about starting my own nonprofit. Any suggestions?
• Where are all the jobs?!?

Have you asked any of these questions? Had people ask you about these topics? If so, listen to this Career Corner podcast.

Our very own Jung Fitzpatrick interviewed Meg Busse to get some answers to ten of the most common questions we hear from folks who are looking for a nonprofit job these days.

And while listening to this podcast will not offer up any golden tickets to finding your ideal job, hopefully you’ll hear at least one new tip that will help you in your search. Or perhaps you’ll listen and get confirmation that you’re doing everything right. Sometimes that reassurance is as much needed in the job search as more advice.
