 <\/p>\n

\u201cA career should be like a pyramid. Don\u2019t worry about trying lots of different types of roles. In the end you will end up with a sound base of experiences on which you can build you career. When you reach the top, you might just find that those odd skills you picked up here and there early on might just come in handy\u00a0.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you get into the charity sector?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“I graduated in Law and Italian and originally wanted to be an immigration<\/a> lawyer. However after spell\u00a0volunteering<\/a> in the Citizens Advice Bureau in Scotland and at a legal advice clinic for asylum seekers in Wales, I knew I wanted to have an impact further \u2018upstream\u2019. I applied for the Charityworks Graduate Scheme and haven\u2019t looked back.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What made you stay and progress within the sector?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“It\u2019s been a combination of things really. I\u2019ve worked with some amazing people who make work enjoyable and I\u2019ve also been fortunate to have had some great managers who have invested in me and encouraged me to progress. The feel-good factor at the end of the day knowing that your work hopefully benefitted someone else is also pretty gratifying.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the one thing that the charity sector provides that you can\u2019t get anywhere else?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Diversity, both in terms of the role and the people you encounter. One morning I can be looking at a contract for a new service, in the afternoon I\u2019m speaking to producers about a documentary, and in the evening, I\u2019m running a death cafe. I don\u2019t think I would get that elsewhere. And charities tend to draw a whole range of people to the cause, meaning you come into contact with people that you wouldn\u2019t ordinarily meet which I love.”<\/p>\n

[clickToTweet tweet=”A range of #career experience can help your progression – Megan Veronesi explains why! #charity #NFP” quote=”The charity sector provides diversity both in terms of the roles and the people you encounter. “]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you seen any major shifts in the way that charities and not for profits recruit?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“I think there has been growing investment in tapping into the graduate talent pool<\/a> through schemes like Charityworks which is great to see. When I was on the programme in 2010, there were 10 of us and now there are over 100 graduates in the scheme across a huge range of not for profit organisations.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why is it important to challenge ourselves and experience a number of different roles?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Personally, taking on new challenges definitely helps to keep me motivated.\u00a0 You might learn you have a talent for something you never knew about. I also think having tried various roles means you have a better understanding of the impact of your decisions in the context of the wider organisation,<\/strong> which can only be a good thing.”<\/p>\n

[clickToTweet tweet=”Can a range of experience help your #career to progress? It can. Our #charity champion explains how” quote=”Having tried various roles means you have a better understanding of the impact of your decisons”]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can building a diverse skill set help with career progression?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“In the charity sector more than most, funding constraints means charities are looking for staff who\u00a0 bring a wide range of skills and can turn their hand to various tasks.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What would you say to encourage someone who is considering moving to the charity sector and isn\u2019t sure what role suits them?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Volunteering is a great way to get a feel for a role before you make the leap. You could also have a chat to someone working in a charity as there are lots of roles specific to the sector which people don\u2019t know about, like fundraising<\/a> or volunteer management<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Does your current role resonate with your own values? And how did your values guide you in your career?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“I\u2019ve always been someone who fights for the underdog and that\u2019s been a pretty consistent theme throughout my career.\u00a0 Even now, one of the most interesting parts of my work is trying to challenge some of the inequalities around end of life care.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the next step for you? Where would you like your career to go?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Who knows?! I\u2019m not too prescriptive as I like being open to what comes my way. One day I\u2019d like to be involved with an organization with an international focus as I\u2019ve always been a big traveller and I love meeting people from around the world.”<\/p>\n
