Make sure to refer\u00a0to your personal career aspirations and the specific job title you\u2019d like. To show that you\u2019re perfect for the job, you should choose a\u00a0future role\u00a0that can be reached from the position you\u2019ll be starting in.\u00a0For example, \u201cMy dream job would allow me to make a positive impact on young people\u00a0in need, which is why I\u2019d one day like to be Head of Fundraising for a youth charity.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5651\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/shutterstock_43302244.jpg\" alt=\"questions to ask at a charity job interview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"2.

Firstly, they want to see if you\u2019ve done your research about the charity\u00a0and the role.\u00a0Secondly, they want to see if you\u2019ve thought about your own career and aspirations and how their\u00a0organisation\u00a0fits into your plans.\u00a0You need to explain what you\u2019re looking for in a new job and how their role ticks\u00a0those boxes. You can also mention anything unique about their\u00a0charity that particularly attracted you to it.\r\n\r\nFinally, for extra points, recap your existing skills and how they make you right for the role.\u00a0You might say:\u00a0\u201cI saw that your ideal candidate is a natural relationship builder as the role requires\u00a0regularly communicating with high-profile donors. I have extensive experience of speaking to supporters\u00a0during my time at...\u00a0[name of past employer].

You need to also decide if\u00a0they\u00a0can offer you the training, development and progression you want.\r\n\r\nTo answer this question, you should outline some of your career goals for the next few years. Try to be as specific as you can.\u00a0For example, are there any specific <a href=\"https:\/\/standout-cv.com\/pages\/key-skills-for-cv\">skills<\/a> you want to work on? Are there projects or campaigns that you\u2019ve heard about and would like to become a part of?\u00a0You might say something like,\u00a0\u201cIn five years, I\u2019d like to be\u00a0running my own digital marketing campaigns to support\u2026\u00a0[name of cause]\u201d.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12435\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/remote-working-in-charity-sector.jpg\" alt=\"remote working in charity sector\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"4.

You can also mention if you have any good ideas that you want to implement straight away.\r\n\r\nFor example,\u00a0if you\u2019re interviewing for a UX Designer role, you might say,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve spent some\u00a0time going through the donor journeys on your website.
