Plan Your
Career Trajectory

In the nonprofit sector, we most often ask ourselves, "What change do we wish to seek in the world?" We are encouraged, even trained, to be selfless and spend our time concerned about causes bigger than just ourselves. And yet, as executive recruiters, we would posit that doing this is exactly what keeps many nonprofit employees from making their deepest social impact. We encourage our candidates to consider their role in driving their own careers, determining both where they ultimately wish to be, and what they need to do to get there.

Rising nonprofit stars become stuck in their careers for many reasons, from waiting to be noticed and promoted by internal managers to simply not knowing how to gather the requisite skills to make themselves attractive to headhunters looking to recruit the next great leader. Regardless of the reason, now is the time to take charge of your own career, build your own career trajectory, and make your own success.

This month's article will help you set your path!

 

Do You Have
a Career Trajectory?
10 Moves to Make TODAY!

We at the Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group have spent many days in the last few years speaking at conferences and other professional development sessions about how emerging leaders and rising stars can build their own nonprofit career path. Our main message: everyone needs a career trajectory plan in order to make their biggest social impact. Our main question: do you have one?

You are invited to join Laura Gassner Otting, President and Founder, and Erin O'Connor Jones, Director of Candidate Services, to discuss how you, too, can plan your career, in a way that gets you connected, mentored, noticed, and headhunted.
