Recently Graduated? Unemployed??

@samone - do you have an idea of what you want to do next (ideal job title) or are you still feeling it out? i want to start my own nonprofit but unsure of what area i want to focus in, so am still trying to feel it out and volunteer at different places to get an idea of what i want to do.

@nyc- are you in a firm here in dc? if i remember correctly you were moving to take a job here. how are you liking it? im sure the dynamics are a bit different from ny.

i work in the nonprofit field, but come across SO many people of different professions. because i am the executive director of one, we are always partnering with folks for my nonprofit and am so lucky to meet and network with folks in top positions across various fields. i know so many partners, lawyers its ridic. so i am always happy to make connections for folks.

Hey SW.
same firm.. just relocated to a different office. So yeah I'm in DC now.
I haven't been here long enough to form a fair opinion yet.. but the dynamics are definitely different than the NY office. From their day to day operations to
I think right now.. they are still feeling me out b/c I'm literally the new kid on the block... but once my "newness" wears down-- I'm sure I'll have a more favorable outlook on this office b/c right now-- *meh*

What organization do you work for? @epitome: those are great advice! I think i'll meet with one of the head honchos at my school next week.. i'm in student government and am now the student liaison for the alumni board and we have a meeting next week as well.. so maybe i'll schmooze... i'm sooo bad at it!! i hate networking even though i'm a super outgoing person..

Spokenword wrote: thanks, samone. and yes, i will def have to look you up when i get to that point with my nonprofit. senior analysts are needed in a lot of fields, especially fed. govt. (not sure if you want to go that route) or DC govt. agencies. consultant firms as well.  good luck with your search!

thanks!

I would love to work for the govt. but I need an in lol
