I was green--right out of college, but they took a chance on me because of my strong writing skills and passion for the cause: my nephew is liver transplant recipient. I've been part of the team for 7 years now.

If a job listing says "no phone calls please", do you follow up call about your resume/application anyways? Persistence..or annoyance?

The goal with any job is get your boss to love working with you so you can ask for help meeting your own goals. This is your goal now, too.

I love those who work in the non-profit sector. I've been there myself - it's hard. There has to be an easier way to fund projects though.
Robyn Schwartz:
Social enterprise and other uniquely generated revenue streams also make life easier; a little creativity goes a long way!
