CAREER ADVICE FOR ENTERPRISING NONPROFIT PROFESSIONALS AND TIPS FOR ASCENDING THE CAREER LADDER
Merrigan & Co features Monica Enloe, Associate Executive Director,
JDRF, on their podcast,
M&C Nonprofit Marketing Talk
3 MAIN TAKEAWAYS
Have pride in your career choice. This sector offers the unique ability to look back on your career and know that your life's work made a difference. Don't lose sight of this!
Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. This applies to you as a professional negotiating salary, vacation, and other benefits. Look at salary surveys and 990's before negotiating an offer.
Network, network, network. Find a mentor, ask for informational interviews from people in positions you aspire to be in. If you're like me--you'll need to practice these skills. Make a list of "small talk" questions to strike up conversations at networking events to get the conversation started. The cliché is true--it's all about who you know.
