Rough Week - Jobs and Thoughts!
Newsletter #56
Had something else planned for today.
But it just didn’t feel right.
A note to my global development friends and colleagues...
Especially those working at USAID and connected to USG-funded initiatives.
If you’re in need of support, I'm here to help however I can.
If you're looking to (or need to) make a job transition, there are over 8,000 jobs currently listed on ImpactSource.
Adjacent sectors and orgs are still doing important work for people on the planet and can use your skills.
I'm planning to continue my weekly roundups, highlighting job opportunities that come my way. It’s a small thing, but I hope it helps.
If you’re considering a job/career shift also highly recommend checking out ImpactCoach.
Having a coach in your corner can make a huge difference during times of transition.
And if you want to connect in the next few weeks/months, feel free to message me.
Can’t promise I’ll be able to meet with everyone, but I’ll do my best.
I believe deeply in the work we’ve done together over many years.
Want to make sure we carry on as much of it as we can one way or another.

Sharing is caring...

Hey Nick,
Thanks for all you do. However, you may want to take down the USAID contractor roles. We're on a freeze, so those jobs are not available. :)
Thanks
