Career Counseling for Those Who Want to Make a Difference
Careers in Nonprofits, B Corps, Government, and Education
Our values are in sync with mission-driven career seekers, whether they're driven to care for individual, the community, the environment (or all of the above). We work with people seeking positions ranging from entry level to leadership roles in nonprofits, B Corps (for-profit companies with a benevolent mission), government and education.
Smart companies know that these mission-driven professionals are premium candidates. According to Forbes, "mission-driven workers are 54 percent more likely to stay for five years at a company and 30 percent more likely to grow into high performers than those who arrive at work with only their paycheck as the motivator."
Identify and Win Your Ideal Job
We relish introducing our clients to past clients who now work for local employers such as Metro Regional Government, New Seasons (a B Corp), school districts, local universities, and standout nonprofits like MercyCorps and Habitat for Humanity.
As we work together, you will help you:
- Articulate core professional and technical skills that match market needs,
- Identify employer traits that match your values and financial needs,
- Target and research priority organizations, businesses, and trade organizations,
- Meet with past clients who work in meaning-seeking fields,
- Identify job leads through websites and networking resources,
- Tailor your LinkedIn profile, resume and cover letters for applicant scanning systems and specific job announcements to win interviews, and
- Interview with ease and confidence.
We meet with clients for individual sessions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. See Services for additional information on Job Search Coaching, preparing Resumes and Cover Letters, Interviewing, and Rates.
