Friday thoughts: As I’m sitting here in sort of disbelief I’m back in this job market, I sit and think about an interview I recently had that gave me motivation. I interviewed with a COO who has been in his industry for 20 years at least and told me he’s envious of where I am. Now, as he said this *in my head* I’m like envious of my desperation and exhaustion? Then he explains how this is such an amazing time period for me because not only do I get to discover and rediscover myself and my career path I also get to choose where I end up. It’s not only about my experience I’ve gain over the years but my intentions on where I end up! This is my motivation because I have recently felt defeated. Then I remembered I am educated, smart, and have determination. There’s nothing or no one who can stop what’s for me and what will be for me! #Fridaymotivation #thoughts #laidoff #opentowork #newstart #newopportunities #openforopportunities #connections #nonprofit #outreach #communityengagement #openforwork

One thing I’m a fan of negotiating over when you finally get your offer: ... 🍪 A later start date 🍪 Job searching is exhausting. It’s not time off. It’s not a vacation. It’s not a break. Job searching is a job in itself. So when you land that offer, negotiate for some time off before your start date. Even if it’s just a week. You deserve time to just decompress, see the people you wanna see (if you wanna see people at all. Am I right, fellow introverts?), or just do whatever you wanna do without the pressure of having to work or submit 100s of applications. ~~~~~~~~~ If you’re a job seeker, especially if you work in education or non-profit, I want you to go to my profile, follow/connect, and click the link in my profile to sign up for free resources.

Application forms for charity sector jobs. I met a friend yesterday who is applying for jobs in the charity sector. 20+ years experience. A brilliant, senior candidate. She'd spent a large chunk of Tuesday completing an application form for a role with a national charity. A Word document. Copying and pasting from her CV. Going back to JDs and listing out her responsibilities. Filling out a section on hobbies and interests. I would love to know thoughts on this. Our advice for an application process would be CV and tailored (no more than 2 pages) supporting statement outlining interest, motivation and skills and experience for the role using the person specification in the JD. Talented, experienced candidates simply won't have time to do an application form. You will very likely lose them at this stage. Time and energy are so precious - we are all balancing busy lives - and if you are juggling other responsibilities (caring, children, health, life in general), a lengthy application form will be a huge barrier, especially for those from underrepresented groups. I applied for a senior charity sector role a few years ago. An 8-page application form. A baby on one hip and two toddlers running around. Needless to say, it wasn't easy. I did get an interview so it was a positive experience in the end, but I almost didn't complete the application as it was so just hard to prioritise (and to be honest a real faff). In this case, less is more. #Talent #CharitySector #ApplicationProcess #InclusiveRecruitment #EquityDiversityInclusion #UnderrepresentedGroups #LessIsMore Charity People

Feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment as I received yet another "position filled" email after eagerly awaiting a response. 📧 Job hunting can be a challenging journey, and the waiting game adds an extra layer of stress. Here's to hoping for more thoughtful communication in the future. 🤞 Despite the setbacks, staying optimistic and determined in the pursuit of the next opportunity. 🌟 Please let me know if you hear of any remote Fundraising, Partnerships, or Communications roles in the nonprofit sector! #JobSearch #NonprofitPro #nonprofitcareers

#Question: Do you include experiences on your resume that may be political in nature? Example: Positions held or volunteer experience with political organizations/nonprofits. Personally, I include these experiences when they are relevant to the position I am applying for; however, I tend to leave off the names of the organizations or groups and instead highlight my duties and skills. This way I can be judged on the skills and experience I possess and not my political beliefs.
