So I finished my MBA in October (Yay me!). I have decided that I want to work in the nonprofit world. I have volunteered with many, but the light bulb to actually work for one for a living just recently went off. More specifically, I want to work in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility. I'm finding that positions in these departments are far and few in between. Go figure that I finally figure out what I want to do in Corporate America and its a thriving practice! I've been doing hella networking and internet scouring for positions. I'm finding this thing to be extremely overwhelming. There is so much information to soak in. Follow these 30 people on twitter; read these 100 white papers; check out all these sites; connect to these people on Linkedin; listen in to upmteen shows on blogtalkradio; follow these blogs...and the list goes on! I'm by no means complaining. If you know me, you know I love to learn new things. Its just one of those things where the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
But i'm ready for the challenge! I think i've just about followed everyone @RosettaThurman recommended following. I'm done reading my first nonprofit white paper. I'm sifting through my friend's connections on Linkedin. I have a more identifiable twitter handle (@Akuba_T #Followme, #Imjustsayingthough). I'm applying to all the nonprofit staffing companies in the country. I'm reading, i'm connecting, i'm networking, i'm following. Most importantly, i'm taking it one day at a time! Otherwise, I would be a ball of stress.
Tune in next time for the latest on my adventures! Who knows when that will be...lol
Oh yeah, a congratulations to me is due. I now intern/contract as a grant writer for a group home. Its slow and go...tell you more about it later.
XOXO,
Akuba T
