Hey everyone, I have been posting about TikTok vs Cepheid about which job offer to take and I have started my first few days at Cepheid biotech and I love it so far. Flexible start/end times, interesting work, great WLB, job security, and career growth is all there! Thank you to everyone who helped me hear different perspectives about two different companies and career paths. Thanks guys!!
Do the above, but you should know the main responsibility of a non-profit board member is to fundraise. If you want to make a real impact, volunteer.
Agreed M1. Much better to find a cause you care for and build a story that way
Do what the others said, but also boardassist.org was how I found mine. I actually found a connection who worked at one that was looking for an advisory board member (not junior) and then interviewed when a spot opened up. So it’s also good for creating a list of targets you’re interested in
That’s what I did (with another org but same idea). Board members are expected to donate big time dollars or labor. As a junior, it’s your time. But I had an excellent experience — ended up being board president because no one else had the time.
Find a non profit you’re interested in. Do work with them, operations, data analytics etc. Then ask if you can support in a board capacity or if they have a junior board
