Issues to be discussed:

How to land that first professional job. How can you stand out in a crowd of more experienced applicants? What should a college senior be doing now to prepare for a career in the nonprofit world? And how can people who have been working for a few years for charities and foundations make the most of their opportunities?

Pertinent questions for all job seekers, international or otherwise. The discussion is free and open to anyone. More information, and submit an early question, here.
