The Practical
Idealist
Hope you are not in it for moolah!!! Then you might as well forget
it! This sector does not have much to offer individuals who are money
driven. They want people with a strong sense of community spirit and
the desire to help others
Creativity
Several opportunities will come your way to take charge of events.
Brand new
day
This is not your typical 9 to 5 desk job, where you repeat the same
routine day in and day out. Non-profits typically have a wide diversity
of daily activities. No two days may be alike.
Erratic
hours
Not always! Sometimes you may have to attend a dinner or special event
after "hours." People that are comfortable in social situations
can possess a distinct advantage in the non-profit sector
Profitable
skills
Basic knowledge of management, information systems, advertising, accounting,
finance and of course, marketing will be a differential advantage.
