Hi there,
If you’re like me, something about settling into a new year gets you itching to take on a challenge. There are plenty of big things you can do, but here in Idealist Career Advice land, switching sectors feels like the biggest! If you’re considering a switch into the social-impact space, you’ll want to start by educating yourself on what exactly that means; our post on how to ease into social-impact work is a great first step. A lot of people are surprised at how nuanced and challenging a career in the nonprofit sector can be, so you’ll want to be well informed.
For those of you already working in the sector and looking for your own shake up, a new job or even a new project can do the trick. Whatever you’re diving into, proper preparation can be the difference between finding that long-term perfect fit or jumping into something you weren’t quite ready to take on.
