Professional Transitions from For Profit to Nonprofit: The Ins and Outs of Sector Changing
By: Michelle Pagno Heck, Senior Consultant, Dewey & Kaye
Have you thought about leaving the business sector to enter the nonprofit job market? Individuals may look to make a career transition in order to find more meaningful work or do something that makes a difference. Or, in today's economy, prolonged unemployment may have a person seeking new professional avenues. While at first blush it may appear that professional experiences and skills from a corporate arena naturally transfer to the nonprofit community, this is not the case. It is not as simple as applying for a position at a foundation or social service agency. Bridging the employment divide between these two sectors includes a strategic job search as well as a challenging personal search. While Dewey & Kaye does not provide a service line to support jobseekers, we have seen successful and unsuccessful transitions and offer up these suggestions for how to approach a job search that may include a sector change.
