New Year, New Job:

Jump Start Your Job Search

 

In the crowded field of perennial New Year's resolutions - lose weight, stop smoking, get organized - one is almost guaranteed to find those four tiny but optimistic words: "Get a New Job."

Unfortunately, like losing those last ten pounds or finally getting next year's holiday cards out on time, the promise of a new job slowly fades from its original glory when the reality of the search proves too overwhelming.

So, instead of promising, in vain yet again, that you will get a new job by the end of January, resolve to jumpstart your job search.

Go Pro Bono with the Taproot Foundation

 

Question: What kind of group would assert, "By 2020, we strive to have all business professionals consider pro bono work an integrated and esteemed part of their careers"?

Answer? The Taproot Foundation. Along with many others, they're part of a growing movement to broaden the definition of "pro bono" - typically associated with legal work - to include other forms of skilled volunteerism.

Enter their website as a volunteer and explore opportunities for you to contribute your skills - from marketing to IT to human resources - to a structured project with a small, committed team in one of many cities in the United States. You'll have the chance to network, grow your skills and make a big difference to a nonprofit organization in your region.

 

If you're with a nonprofit whose staff is stretched thin, check out the Nonprofit Service Grants page to see if your organization might qualify. If so, Taproot would handle the recruitment and management of your pro bono team, so that you could focus on how best to serve your constituents.

And if you're with a for profit business, visit the corporations page to learn how to become a Pro Bono Corporate Partner.
