Careers in Nonprofits and Government Agencies, 2006 Edition, introduces college students and career-changers to the job opportunities available outside of business. The guide lists major nonprofit groups, foundations, and government agencies, and provides profiles of some of the largest employers. It then outlines available career paths and asks people in nonprofit fields about the advantages and drawbacks of their work. The guide also describes the travel opportunities, compensation, and diversity that employees can expect if they go to work for a nonprofit group. For job seekers, it provides advice on the hiring process, including interviewing techniques and a glossary of nonprofit and government terminology.
