Have you previously worked at a non-profit organization?

Provide the interviewer with a brief overview of any non-profit experience you may have, whether as a professional or volunteer. Your answer will stand out if your experience directly relates to the mission of the organization for which you are interviewing. If you do not have non-profit experience, explain why you want to join this field of work and how your experience has prepared you for it.

"Although I have never worked in the non-profit field before, I have been volunteering twice a month at a local nursing home. I visit with seniors living there, assist them with daily tasks, read to them, and listen to their stories. This experience has shown me the importance of connecting with others, especially the most vulnerable in our communities. Because of this, I am determined to enter the non-profit field and begin a career helping others. I know my decades working as a sales manager have prepared me for this position in particular."
