Your Charity Career

Adam Jaye

Philanthropy Officer at Currently looking for work

1 year ago

Sadly my time at St Mungo's has not been a success. It seemed from the second month onwards it wasn't really planning out but having had a probationary hearing in December (two months after my appraisal) I have been told I will not be kept on.
I have been here for just over 9 months and learnt a lot about how fundraising works as well as developing new, invaluable skills. I am very keen to turn a negative experience into a positive one and this has made me even more determined to continue working in fundraising. It took me some time to understand the role but now I feel ready and more than capable.
My concern is that I have never failed a probationary period and I wondered if anybody else has experienced a similar thing where it just wasn't the right fit?
