Sometimes It's Who You Know.

For the past several months, Nonprofit Professionals' Director of Candidate Services, Erin O'Connor Jones, has been blogging for Change.org about transitioning from the corporate world to the nonprofit sector.

For example, do you know how to:

Have You Experienced
Age Bias?

Is there age bias in the job market? According to the respondents in last month's Encore.org survey, there most certainly is.

Fifty-five percent of the 671 individuals who took the survey were between the ages of 55 and 64, and another 27 percent were in the adjacent age categories of 50 to 54 and 65 to 69. Two-thirds were female.

Click here to read the survey, its results, and the ways its respondents have learned to counteract age bias.
