Online discussion about starting and building a nonprofit career 4/21 at noon

The Chronicle of Philanthropy is having an online discussion about starting a nonprofit career. See below or visit their web site (http://philanthropy.com/live/2009/04/career/) to learn more:
College students preparing to graduate this spring are facing extraordinary uncertainty about their career prospects. Not only is the job market tight, but they also confront increased competition from experienced nonprofit workers who have been laid off and businesspeople who want to change careers.

So what can new graduates do to land their first professional job? How can they stand out in a crowd of more experienced applicants? What should a college senior be doing now to prepare for a future career in the nonprofit world? And how can people who have been working for a few years for charities and foundations make the most of their opportunities?

Join us on Tuesday, April 21, as we explore these questions and others.
Shelly Cryer is a career consultant and the author of The Nonprofit Career Guide: How to Land a Job That Makes a Difference. As a consultant, Ms. Cryer helped create American Humanics' Initiative for Nonprofit Sector Careers, a research and advocacy project in Kansas City, Mo.

She will respond to questions and comments about these issues on Tuesday, April 21, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time. Readers are welcome to post questions and comments now.
