Ten
Resume Tips for Nonprofit Jobseekers
The
resume is a key part of any job application, and applying for a nonprofit job is
no different. The question is, how is writing a resume for a nonprofit job
different from writing one for a corporate position and how can you create a
resume that effectively markets yourself to a nonprofit audience? This article
will provide tips and advice about how to tailor your resume to nonprofit
organizations.
Tip #1: Focus on Culture
Fit
Nonprofits look for different types of information in
a resume. Like all organizations or companies, nonprofits look for evidence of
relevant skills and experience that will help the candidate to be successful in
the position and add value to the company. Nonprofits, though, look beyond
specific skills and qualifications; they are particularly interested in how a
candidate is going to fit within their unique organizational culture.
Therefore, a good nonprofit resume will include key personality traits and a
connection to the organization's mission as a first step in demonstrating
culture fit.
