How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
Most of the people I work with, and the majority of people in the nonprofit industry, are both passionate and good team players. That passion excites you to wake up every morning and get to work.
It's also what keeps you going when you're feeling down or tired. There's a lot of collaboration and teamwork that happens every single day. The ability to work well with others and contribute to group success is absolutely critical as well.
