From Making a Profit to Making a Difference: How to Launch Your New Career in Nonprofits

From Making A Profit To Making A Difference: How To Launch Your New Career in Nonprofits is a superb instruction guide showing how nonprofit leaders think and hire (it’s a whole different mind set than in the for–profit business world!); how to use “strategic volunteerism” with a nonprofit organization to build a job–seeking network; how to adapt a business resume and cover letter to work with nonprofits; and how to negotiate a salary/benefits package. Author Richard King also helps his readers identify the types of nonprofit work that will best appeal to them and which kinds of nonprofits or charities fit them best. Highly recommended, essential reading for anyone seeking a job or career in the nonprofit corporation field. From Making a Profit To Making a Difference is enhanced with directories of recruiters for nonprofits as well as a thorough listing of nonprofit organizations.
