Want a New Nonprofit Job in an International Setting?

Every so often I get a few minutes to go exploring nonprofit websites.  I love seeing what kinds of things people are doing in the nonprofit sector.  This weekend, I had the opportunity to stumble across some interesting international websites.  One, called DevNetJobs.org, lists nonprofit or nongovernmental organizational jobs across the globe.  I was fascinated.  Want to live in Japan?  Here's an interesting job:

As I went through the different jobs, I imagined what great opportunities they were for people in the nonprofit sector.  It's free to look at the postings on their site and you can sign up for jobs to be emailed to you for only $48 for a three-month subscription.  I wrote to DevNetJobs.Org and asked them to contribute a piece to Nonprofit Conversation.  This is a good link to send to your friends in the nonprofit sector, who knows maybe you will find your next job here.  Bunnie

Over 11,000 international development recruiters from Non-Profits, NGOs, Governments, UN and Aid agencies, Multilaterals, Bilaterals and Consulting firms advertise jobs, consulting opportunities and internships arising within their organisation on this platform. These include organisations such as Save the Children, Oxfam, ActionAid, UNDP, Christian Aid, Handicap International, UNICEF, World Resources Institutie, IDEA International, Care International, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Amnesty International, World Bank, DAI, ARD Inc, Management Systems International, IUCN, Clinton Foundation, WWF and more. Consequently, several thousand new jobs get posted on the website each month.

Furthermore, over 227,000 jobseekers working in the international development sector are registered with the platform to receive the free weekly job updates. These jobseekers come from all countries around the globe. The website receives over 45,000 page views each day, making it the largest and the most popular specialised website on international development jobs.

To make it easier for organisations to search for qualified candidates, it is free for non-profits to post their jobs on DevNetJobs.org and there is no charge for jobseekers to search and apply for jobs posted on it.

  3. "I imagined what great opportunities they were for people in the nonprofit sector."

    Until now, I had not imagined these opportunities. I'm coming up on a point in my life where a career change may be imminent. I think I'll spending a lot of time on DevNetJobs.org while I consider my options, thanks to your post!

  4. I'm certainly at the end of my tether in my current job. The rat race in extreme and all for a company chasing the filthy lucre.

    It certainly opens your eyes to possibilities when you read blogs such as this. Thanks for posting, definitely food for thought.
