Considering a Job in Fund Raising?

I know what you're thinking after reading that headline: "Search for a new job? I'm just thankful to have any job in this economy." With layoffs at companies in what appears to be nearly every industry, and economic news good one day and bad the next, everyone currently employed should be pleased. But you don't have to delay your job search just because of the uncertain news all around us. For those already in the fund-raising business who are ready to make a change, or those interested in entering the field, now is the moment to be actively searching. Plenty of development positions are available today in higher education and in other nonprofit sectors. Just look in the job sections of this publication and The Chronicle of Philanthropy. You will notice that fund raisers of all skill levels are being sought throughout the country and around the world.
