I get a lot of emails from jobseekers about how to break into the nonprofit field. I love giving career advice about finding and keeping a great nonprofit job, but sometimes, however, it can be useful to have a complete book that you can keep going back to when you have questions. Luckily for you, Idealist.org has published two great books that are – wait for it – totally FREE to download as your very own. Both of the free books hghlighted below offer useful advice, strategies, and resources for people considering a career in the nonprofit sector. I hope they help you in your journey.
The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for First-time Job Seekers
This book is a free resource for emerging professionals pursuing their first position in the nonprofit sector. Whether you’re a current student, a recent graduate, or someone entering the workforce for the first time, this book is meant for you.
The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for Sector Switchers
This book is a free resource for transitioning professionals pursuing new career options in the nonprofit sector. If you call yourself a mid-career transitioner, a re-careerer, an encore careerist, a bridger, or a sector switcher, this book is meant for you.
