Now that comps are behind me and I have my Master’s degree, it is time to re-energize the job search. I have applied to a whole host of positions since August, yet have only received one interview So, I am tapping into my network here.
What I am looking for – a position in fundraising and development. While I love crafting and implementing programs, I am most passionate about helping organizations obtain the funds necessary to effectively implement programs that allow them to maximize impact within their particular target communities. Too often, lack of funding limits the extent to which organizations can fulfill their mission.
Please take a look at my resume. Ideally I would like to remain in Philadelphia (to minimize my commute), however, I am open to positions between New York City and Wilmington, Delaware. I would appreciate any referrals or recommendations.
Also, I am stepping up my networking and professional development strategies. I am making a commitment to attend three networking and two professional development events a month. I am also applying to two long(er) term professional development fellowship programs.
In the meantime, I am also looking to expand my consulting practice.
I have a more detailed professional development strategy, but I want to put the fundamentals of it out there so that I am accountable to more than just myself.
Best wishes to anyone else who is on the job hunt. Speak up and let me know if there are any job postings I should send your way.
