American Association of Adapted Sports Programs’ Post

Unpopular opinion: The job market is showing the rest of the world what Black, Brown and POC folks have been dealing with for decades. If you hate what you are experiencing, help to dismantle the system that supports this mess. And before you ask, I am doing the work by: - Empowering, educating and working with marginalized groups to make sure they are prepared for ANY market. - Calling out crappy behavior AND providing solutions. Once you get back on top, remember your experience and do the work. #opentowork #careerdevelopment #careeradvancement

Cronyism can show up in non profits. Newly hired staff stated to another applicant they were friends with an employee at a non profit org in Springfield. Two out of the three hired repeatedly notified the other candidate of their connections were not aware they were all applying for the same position. None of them were members of the org, and none of them did leadership training courses which were highly desired in the organizer positions posted. Knowing various types of law means you can quickly put things together and can identify where there might be unfair employment practices even if candidates are interviewed by the orgs Board members. I was told by one of my interviewers a board member I would hear from them and that my interview and questions were perfect. Every answer to a question not only answered one question but also answered the following questions over 50% of the interview process. Things don't add up when the employees friends get hired and don't have the same qualifications or less qualifications including having multiple experiences of homelessness and housing disparities. #cronyism

Mac's List -This Portland/NW job board isn't limited to nonprofits, but it has an especially good collection of nonprofit jobs if you're in Oregon or Washington.
