How to find new opportunities in the NFP Sector
If you’re looking for opportunities in the ‘for purpose’ sector, there are many great websites for job-seekers that wish to make a difference and contribution towards social impacts or causes close to their heart.
Many jobs don’t get advertised and it is predicted that over 50% of opportunities are appointed without advertising, directly via the hidden job market. So it’s definitely advised to go beyond traditional and advertised job-search options and leverage your network.
How to prepare a standout CV / Resume
At Gembridge, we receive many applications each week. Recently, an advertisement for one position attracted 315 applications, and a completely different position received only 3 applications plus additional applicants driven through our database and pro-active search process. So, we read a lot of resumes and share our insights, tips and suggestions with you.
Welcome to Gembridge!
We’re excited to launch our new blog – a space where you’ll read about recruitment, job seeker tips and hot topics. We’ll also feature some insightful Q&As with leaders and experts from the NFP sector. We hope it’ll be a valuable blog for employers and candidates and an inclusive place where others can share and connect.
