I've never worked for a non-profit; however, in the past I have done my share of volunteer work.  It didn't get me a promotion but in a small town like Macon, GA, it sure got my name out.  I chaired a couple of city-wide recycling committees, which provided an opportunity to meet many of the business leaders and elected officials.  Between that and my association with IAAP, I landed a couple of really good positions because people knew me, one being the Exec Sec to the Mayor.  In addition, my qualifications didn't hurt either!!



I can see Allan's point about if you don't have experience try volunteer work - that's one way to get it.  Guess it would work for some, especially in the IT field.
