Whatever your reason for wanting to make a change, there are a few things that are always worth thinking about before you hand in your resignation.

Figure out your true reasons for wanting to change<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nKnow the exact reason why you want to leave your current role? Brilliant. Keep this front of mind when seeking a new position. Want a job that offers you greater flexibility than your current one? Looking to broaden your experience in a new sector? Be sure to mention these things in your cover letter and reiterate them if you get through to the interview stage.\r\n\r\nBut if you\u2019re feeling generally unmotivated and miserable, it might be difficult to figure out what exactly you\u2019re looking for in your new job. Many career coaches ask their clients to begin by noting down the top five things that make them happy, not just at work but in life more generally, and then to number them in order of importance (e.g. working with animals, being able to clearly see the impact of what you do, spending time with your family). The next step is to consider what types of job are likely to offer you these\u2014and you can make this pool as narrow or as broad as you like.\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14102\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GettyImages-1063760170-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Happy laughing mother and daughter using laptop\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"2. Decide how big your career change will be","content":"<h2><strong>2. Decide how big your career change will be<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAre you looking to start an entirely new job, wholly unrelated to your career so far? Or do you want to put your existing skills and experience to use in the charity sector? If it\u2019s the former, it\u2019s important to do extensive research into the role of your dreams, and understand that you\u2019ll be starting at the beginning. It\u2019s also worth doing some training that will give you a good grounding in the role you\u2019re going for.\r\n\r\nIf it\u2019s the latter, make a list of all your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/transferable-skills-you-didnt-know-you-had\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transferable skills<\/a> and educate yourself on the differences between the private sector and the charity sector when it comes to your role. There are some jobs, such as finance or marketing, that will be very similar across sectors. Others, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/what-is-fundraising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraising<\/a>, don\u2019t have direct equivalents in the commercial sector. But if you want to become a fundraiser, don\u2019t be put off applying due to your lack of charity experience. Instead, think about the key components that make up the role\u2014relationship building and revenue generation. If you\u2019ve worked in sales or business development, you\u2019ll definitely possess these. Just make sure you\u2019re able to demonstrate them during an interview by giving concrete examples of your achievements."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"3. Be realistic about the roles you\u2019re likely to be considered for","content":"<h2><strong>3. Be realistic about the roles you\u2019re likely to be considered for<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIf you decide that you'd like to make the move into the charity sector, and have your eye on a specific position, why not start by taking a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/career-guides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">career guides<\/a>? It\u2019s also worth reaching out to your contacts to see if they know somebody who already works in that role. The key here is to be realistic. While there are many charities that will accept, or even actively recruit, career shifters, you may not immediately be considered for the level that you\u2019d like to join at.\r\n\r\nFor example, if you\u2019re a Senior Business Development Manager with extensive experience in the corporate sector, you won\u2019t necessarily be considered for a Senior Fundraising Manager position. This is because fundraising is very specific to the charity sector, and you lack the relevant knowledge to be able to perform this role at a senior level. You\u2019re much more likely to be considered for a more junior role, and with the right training, be able to progress swiftly upwards.\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8671\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Changeheader.png\" alt=\"Career change charity sector\" width=\"1000\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"4.

Charities simply can\u2019t compete with the private sector when it comes to pay. This is why it\u2019s worth researching exactly what you\u2019re likely to earn.\u00a0Larger charities have bigger budgets and sometimes offer slightly higher salaries than smaller ones, so it\u2019s worth aiming for these if money is an important factor for you."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"5.

Consider any training that you\u2019re likely to need<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTraining makes a big difference if you\u2019re making a career change from the private sector into a charity.

Why not check out <a href=\"https:\/\/knowhow.ncvo.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCVO Knowhow<\/a>, which offers many tools and resources for those starting out in their charity career. For example, if you\u2019re a finance professional wanting to understand the essentials of how charities manage their accounts, this is the right place for you.\r\n\r\nShowing that you\u2019ve taken the initiative to upskill yourself for the job of your dreams will definitely stand you in good stead when it comes to progressing past the CV stage. If you\u2019re able to do some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volunteering<\/a>, which would give you added insight into the ins and outs of charity work, all the better."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Do your career research and avoid disappointment","content":"<h2><strong>Do your career research and avoid disappointment<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTaking the time to carefully consider each of the above points will definitely help you avoid any disappointment related to salary, job fit and a range of other factors when making a career change.
