Does Your Nonprofit Need Help Finding Talent?

The Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group was founded on the notion that all mission-driven organizations deserve to be able to find the best talent.

To that end, we allow our clients to contract with us for the full suite of retained executive search services or let them pick a la carte. We've just put together a new tool that will help you think through each stage of search to determine what type of help you'll need, and what kind of budget you should allow.

 

Dear Laura,

Thank you for subscribing to our job seeker newsletter.

In this edition, you'll find helpful tips, a feature article covering a topic central to your search, as well as information regarding our consulting services.

This newsletter is meant to help you in your search. To that end, your feedback is appreciated so that we may continue to improve what we offer.

The Seasoned Executive
Searching for Nonprofit Work at 50 Years and Older

Many job seekers aged 50 or older worry about the impact their "advanced years" will have on their job search. For some organizations and for certain positions, age may be perceived as an asset; for others, it may be perceived as a deficit. As a seasoned, over-50 job seeker, you are part of the fastest growing group of job seekers, and one of the most challenged. You know that you bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to any job you hold, but how can you convince a future employer of that fact? By asking yourself introspective questions at the beginning of your search, positioning your skills and experience strategically, and networking effectively, you can ease your transition into your next career.
