Can you help me use my skills in the charity sector?

Recruitment

KARIN ELKORCHI Fundraiser at The Boys Clubhouse Posted 6 years ago

Hi and excited to be here on CharityConnect
Looking for help and as much as I can learn about the sector
I have had a very successful career working for some of the biggest UK entrepreneurs as well as running my own business and I am now actively looking for a position where I can use my skill set in a more altruistic arena. My experience volunteering has confirmed that my particular work experience, skill set, and personality are very aligned, appropriate and transferrable to this sector, above all I CARE.
I have been short-listed several times for roles in this sector and each time the position has gone to the more "conventional" applicant. Seems I am either overqualified or else haven't got the "charity" professional experience, I'm soldiering on however any advice greatly appreciated :) 
I appreciate you taking the time to read through this introduction, excited to hear from you all, good things always 
Karin
