Hey Nonprofit Peeps, Ollin Rodriguez Lopez and I have launched the Nonprofit Operations (NPO) job portal, a valuable new resource for nonprofit job seekers! This portal was designed to fill a critical gap, providing easy access to finance, HR, operations, and executive director positions. What makes this portal truly unique is its integration of demographics and financial 990 analysis, helping job seekers determine whether an organization aligns with their values. This platform also addresses a key issue: recognizing HR and finance professionals as valuable candidates for executive leadership roles, not just programmatic and development professionals. The NPO portal is a must-see if you're a job seeker, career advisor, or job poster. It’s designed with transparency and trust, ensuring job seekers can confidently pursue roles that align with their values. Please share with others who could benefit from this incredible resource! https://lnkd.in/gPKDVAWz

Volunteering is a great way to be involved in a cause that you're passionate about, and connect with like-minded people while making a difference. In many organisation, there is essentially a recruitment process when someone applies to volunteer. The process will depend on the organisation and role, but as n a paid employment job application you should do your research before applying to make sure it’s an organisation you want to give your time to. If it is a senior, specialised, or board level role, you can expect that it will be a much more thorough process. Remember, many of the organisations recruitment may be run by volunteers, so be patient as it may be a slower process. If you're looking to volunteer and need some help with your CV to highlight your experience, reach out to our team and we can work with you to showcase your skills.

Looking for a job? Now that I've completed the process, I'm going to post a few thoughts on the whole thing, in the hopes that it will be helpful, especially for those looking for a fundraising job. Here's my first (hopefully helpful) tip on how to keep the job search organized. As someone who loves using a CRM to track activity, I wished I had one available for this personal project. Instead, I used a Google Sheet to track my search. A screenshot is offered below and you can re-create it. If you DM me with your gmail, I can get you the link. In addition to the column headers you see below (Jobs, Notes, Next Step, Date, Financial Info, Org Info, Timeline, Salary/Benefits, Interview Notes), I also would turn each row green, orange, or red based on status (green = open, orange = uncertain/ghosted, red = closed). Feel free to recreate if it's helpful. #jobsearch #jobhunt #philanthropyjobs #fundraisingjobs #fundraising
