Your ongoing support is helping make full human rights for women and girls around the world a reality, donate money in our charity. With more and more people wanting a job that makes a difference it is getting increasingly difficult to find a job in the charity sector. Below are some insights from a charity career coach who has coached and hired hundreds of people within the sector.

1. Get some relevant experience

Employers want to know that you understand what will be expected of you and are able to deliver it, particularly if you are new to the sector. We want you to be passionate and motivated but we get nervous if we think you’re wearing rose-coloured glasses when it comes to the reality of working in a charity. The sector is always looking for interns and volunteers. If you’re able to show a genuine understanding of the challenges the organisation faces and offer solutions for meeting those challenges then you stand a much better chance of securing employment.

TOP TIP – if you’re struggling to find the right intern position then try a smaller charity – they always need practical help, placements can be less restrictive than larger charities and you’ll be able to see the impact of your work. Vodafone World of Difference can be a great way to get paid to work for a charity.

2. Understand where your skills are needed

First you need to understand what roles you are best suited to, which is where both networking and our specialised career coaching come in handy. There is a wide range of roles within the sector and there may be one with your name on it that you’ve just never heard of. Then increase your chances of being selected for interview by being really clear on your transferable skills, giving examples that correlate to situations that will crop up in that role. Be specific. If I’m recruiting a Business Development Manager I don’t want to know that you’re a good communicator – I want to know about the specific pitch you won and how you were able to spot and overcome objections. Stories like that help me remember you and wonder if you could do the same for my organisation.

TOP TIP – look at social enterprises too as they also make the world a better place and are more commercially focused in terms of the jobs they recruit to. Also some charities are particularly open to taking on people from the corporate sector so get to know who they are and how they recruit. Increase your chances of being selected for interview by being really clear on your transferable skills, giving examples that correlate to situations that will crop up in that role. Be specific. If I’m recruiting a Business Development Manager I don’t want to know that you’re a good communicator – I want to know about the specific pitch you won and how you were able to spot and overcome objections. Stories like that help me remember you and wonder if you could do the same for my organisation.

3. Get to know the gatekeepers

Charities often use recruitment agencies and agencies generally put forward tried and tested candidates over newcomers to the sector. As a result they often act as gatekeepers to the sector. If you are invited for an interview by a recruitment agency use the opportunity to pick their brains as they know the sector very well. And get some feedback from them on what roles they think you are best suited to and how you can strengthen your cv. Agencies will advocate for candidates they like and believe in and I’ve often shortlisted a less traditional candidate because I trust the agency’s opinion.

4. Build relationships

Build up your network of people who work in the sector, ideally those in relevant roles. Ask people for a quick coffee to pick their brains, ideally through an introduction, and then make sure you’ve got plenty of questions and that you come across as dynamic, likeable and highly skilled.

TOP TIP – many of us ask our contacts to spread the word about roles we are recruiting for so it’s worth keeping in touch and sending a thank you card so that you are front of mind. The more specific you can be about what you are looking for, the easier it is to remember and recommend you.

5. Research the role

You’d be amazed how many people turn up for interview without a basic knowledge of the field they want to work in. There are some great resources out there to help you do your background research. If you want to be a corporate fundraiser then start by reading ‘The Guide To Corporate Fundraising’ (I’m a contributor but I get no commission!) so that you give yourself a fighting chance of competing against candidates who know all the ways charities raise funds from corporates because they’ve seen it first-hand.

TOP TIP – I’m always impressed by candidates who have clearly done their research and drop titbits into their answers to show that. Candidates that think through what they would do if they got the role and come with suggestions and plenty of relevant questions show me rather than tell me that they really want the job and that they can add value. I recently interviewed a candidate who on paper wasn’t the frontrunner but the agency raved about him and he turned up very confident, with lots of ideas and questions and left me with a document that outlined exactly what he would do if he got the job. He got the job, because he stood out and I could see that he had a great combination of a natural aptitude for fundraising and a commitment to do whatever it took to be brilliant in the role.

6. Understand the objections

If you understand what the recruiter is worried about then you’ve got a decent chance of reassuring them. Use feedback from previous interviews to address objections upfront in a positive proactive manner and show what you have done to address them.

TOP TIP – tell me exactly how you would bridge the gap between what you know now and what you would need to know if I gave you the job – would you go on a course or find a mentor for example?

7. Make sure you’ve got the basics

When I first tried to work in the charity sector as anew graduate in 1996 I couldn’t even get an interview as no-one wanted to train someone in the basics of office work. So I went away and got a sales/PA role that covered everything I’d need to do in a fundraising assistant role including mail merges and data inputting and after that I found it much easier to get interviews. These days we often want PowerPoint skills and we want to know that you’ll be able to use the database and create Excel spreadsheets, though obviously this depends on the role. Make sure you don’t miss out because you’re lacking a basic skill that you can quickly obtain.

8. Become a Trustee

If you’re looking for a senior role then becoming a Trustee is a great way to understand the challenges that charities face and will give you opportunities to get involved and build up your experience. Charities often recruit for Trustees on their website or on job websites or if there is a cause you are passionate about why not approach them. Smaller charities are particularly open to new Trustees who are willing to pitch in with their area of expertise. You can’t be a Trustee and work for that charity and Trustees usually serve at least a year.

The Coolsculpting Melbourne solution offers many advantages over conventional surgical procedures that you can get in Melbourne, or overseas.

PicoSure laser treatment is the first and only aesthetic picosecond laser for the safe and effective removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions For somebody who is younger, you can get away with just using a good skin-care regimen like sunscreen or maybe getting a chemical peel here and there. But you reach a point where you wish you could get back that perk that you used to have. That is where skin laser treatments from cosmetic clinics like the Face Doctors Remuera come in. And they can do a world of difference. But you need to know what you’re getting into if you want to get the most out of it.

Skin laser treatments can do a million things for your skin.

“Laser” stands for light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation. Yep, it’s complicated. But simply, it’s a wavelength of light, and different things in our skin will absorb different wavelengths. That means derms and cosmetic pros at Face Doctors Remuera use one wavelength to target brown spots, another for red bumps, etc. In fact, every pro we talked to has multiple machines in their office to handle the most common complaints, from fading stretch marks to treating rosacea.

Brown spots and discoloration, redness, wrinkles, acne scarring, surgery scars, stretch marks, and even tattoo removal are all things a cosmetic clinic like the Face Doctors Remuera might recommend a laser for. They’re not like magic erasers, but they’re quite helpful.

One reason why dermatologists and cosmetic experts like the pros at Face Doctors Remuera love skin laser treatments: They get the job done and require very little follow-up once a series of treatments is done. Some treatments take a few sessions spaced out over time to work. But after that, you’re pretty much done.

People have this idea that skin laser treatments are so expensive, “Oh, it takes so many treatments. Oh, I’m going to have such a bad recovery.” But really, it’s not that expensive and it works really well.”

Let’s be real for a second: Skin laser treatments at derma clinics or cosmetic clinics like the Face Doctors Remuera are not cheap. But when you compare a lump sum for a handful of laser treatments to a lifetime supply of skin care products, you can see why so many people think it’s worth the cost.

Here’s what skin laser treatments can do for you-plus which lasers will get the job done.

• If you want an allover rejuvenating treatment
• If you want to get rid of redness – Vascular lasers target the hemoglobin in blood, which makes them superb at fading redness caused by any number of skin conditions, including broken blood vessels, cherry angiomas (which look like little red moles), red patches, and rosacea.
• If you want to get rid of brown spots-or a tattoo that you regret: When shit happens and you hate that tattoo, lasers can erase your ink. The tattoo laser is attracted to pigment in the skin, brown in particular. Warning: Not all designs come away easily. In order to remove a tattoo, it depends on the quality of the tattoo, how much pigment is in there, if it was professionally done versus done in a garage, if it’s old, if it’s new. Overall, new tattoos that are done professionally are harder to remove. Plus, colors like green, yellow, and blue can be stubborn. Since a tattoo laser targets the color brown really well, it can also be good for treating dark spots.
• If you want to get rid of unwanted body hair: A hair laser works by targeting pigment. The laser light has a preference for the melanin that’s in the base of the hair follicle. The laser burns the hair down to the base stunting the growth. It can be used on underarms, bikini line, and legs. Because hair-removal lasers target the pigment in hair, it works best on skin types with a high contrast between hair and skin color (think: fair skin and dark hair).

That brings us to a major caveat to this laser lovefest: Make sure you go to a legit provider.

Currently there is no board certification in laser medicine. And while most skin laser treatments require some training to operate, sometimes that course is given by the company that makes the machine-to anyone who buys it. Unfortunately the way things are with lasers, almost anybody could just buy a laser and open shop. It’s a strong machine. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can definitely cause injury.

The pros recommend seeing a medical doctor when it comes to skin laser treatments like the Face Doctors Remuera. Even with treatments as simple as laser hair removal, make sure you do a thorough check on the facility. Another thing to consider when you sign up for a laser treatment: Does this facility have the right medical staff to handle an emergency if something goes wrong? You’d be surprised how many people I see who have complications from laser treatments. There’s no laser police running around. People get injured, and they can’t even sue.

Warning: Lasers can be very painful but everyone’s pain threshold is different. However, lasers are known to be painful. It depends on the area of the body. The face and the neck tend to hurt more with the laser than other areas. Although bikini and underarm laser hair removal definitely hurts, too.

Most times, pros will apply a strong numbing cream before using the laser.
