To put it lightly, we're in a period of great economic upheaval and I'm sure there are at least a few of us who are looking for a new job, perhaps even in a new field. Here's a brief run-down of three sites that might help you find openings at non-profits, NGOs, and socially-minded businesses:
HumanRightsJobs.com
HumanRightsJobs.com posts a range of domestic and international opportunities from internships to directorships. One opening we were tipped off to is the Manager Director for The Foundation for Tomorrow in Tanzania. Sounds like an amazing opportunity for the right person.
NextBillion.net
Acumen Fund's partner site, NextBillion.net, posts jobs that focus on "development through enterprise". The Total Immersion Program in Finance and Development sounded great to me as someone with a limited background in Finance. Did I mention it's in India?
Idealist.org
Idealist.org's mission is to "connect people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives". I just did a quick search of opportunities in New York, NY and it generated over 1400 postings. It's a great place to start if you're flexible about what you want to do next with your career.
What other sites and resources are you using to learn about job opportunities? Please share in the comments!
