How Do I Get That Nonprofit Job I've Been Seeking?

During my 9 years at Dewey & Kaye I have personally interviewed thousands of individuals, as well as conducted more than 600 interviews with search committees who are wrestling with decisions related to hiring the right professional to lead a nonprofit organization. In most cases these individuals are volunteer board members operating with the best interest of the organization at heart, and seeking someone who will do the same. During these interviews I have seen just about everything. Here's a list of the best advice I can offer for those of you interviewing for a role in a nonprofit organization:

Don't leave your passion at the door. This might or might not factor into interviews in the private sector. However there is a good chance that the person(s) interviewing you are there because they care deeply about the cause the organization is supporting. They want to hear the same from you if you are going to lead the organization at some level.
