Resources for the Job Seeker
There are as many diverse kinds of jobs in the nonprofit sector as there are in the other sectors.
These organizations need accountants, and marketing experts, and sales people (called fundraisers or
development professionals in the nonprofit sector), and policy advocates, and IT specialists. They need
people with specialized expertise in human services, volunteerism, community development and the like
as well, but most of the skills needed to develop and manage an enterprise of any kind are needed by
nonprofit organizations.
It is not necessarily better to work for a nonprofit than another sector, but it has a strong appeal to
people, like you, who want to make their community or the world a better place—not for a profit or any
other reason than because it is important work. And most who work in the sector will tell you it is particularly
fulfilling work.
