What is the #1 reason why I apply and work for a company? I look at their values! Work doesn't feel like work when your career goals are aligned with the goals of your employer. When you research a potential employer, compare your values with an employer's mission statement, core values and business model. Many companies also support charitable organizations or partner with community groups. If you want your work to help the world at large, this may be a factor to consider when looking for a job.

I help creatives + hustlers take purposeful action in their career + lifestyle by re- moving expectations, insecurities, and honoring their truth. Job hopping in different industries (tech, health, hospitality) and in different sectors (government, contracting, non-profit) has taught me A LOT about the corporate world and how it's up to us to... Put ourselves first Find or create a role that fits our needs Unlearn + remove cultural (even familial) expectations...much more! If you'd like to support my small woman owned biz consider sharing my page with someone you think this resonates with. (Every little support helps us solopreneurs, thanks!!)

Curiosity and integrity. I have been thinking a lot about these two traits. If hiring an entry-level philanthropy professional, I would look for these two traits. No philanthropic facilitator (fundraiser) will know everything - curiosity will serve them well. Doing the right thing and being honest (with internal and external partners) is also essential. Stay curious. Read often. Do the right thing even when it’s hard. P.S. These traits should also be evident for more senior level hires too!

SUCCESS” What does it mean?   Having been a senior executive for numerous companies as well as a successful entrepreneur, starting and running numerous small companies on my own. Each experience has given me a different perspective on what success really means: At times I thought it was making a lot of money, being the boss, or even closing a deal that no one else could.   Having been very lucky to have had so many great career opportunities, at this point in my career “success” means any opportunity that gives me the ability to give back and try to help others.   Growing up very poor and in a very large family, I am amazed at how many people helped me along the way. For this reason, I started a grassroots non-profit organization called iThankYou. Our mission is very simple, to positively affect as many people's lives as possible in one way or another.   iThankYou is currently looking for new and creative ways to give back. We would love to hear from you with any ideas you may have to help others and to give back.   If you are interested in helping to spread the word, you can partner with us at https://lnkd.in/eBp-npJ4
