168. Friday Convos with Young Pros: Finding + Landing Your First Nonprofit Job - Jonathan McCoy, CFRE, Becky Endicott, CFRE and Julie Confer

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

We've been wanting to have a heart-to-heart chat with one particular audience in the nonprofit sector, so we decided to turn that convo into a series: Friday Convos with Young Professionals. This week we're kicking off the 4-part series by chatting about Finding and Landing Your First Nonprofit Job. We're walking through internship tips, interview Do's and Dont's, cover letters and resumes, digital networking (LinkedIn here at centerstage!), and how to start building your professional network. It's all the stuff we wish we knew, what we would do differently and how to have your passion stand out from the crowd.
