Great intro to nonprofit careers
This book gives a very thorough introduction to careers in nonprofit fields. It gives detailed job descriptions of just about every position available, along with employment prospects (somewhat inflated) and advancement prospects. Each position also included a career ladder, showing what positions are normally held prior to a job and what positions you can advance to from a position. The career ladder is not something included in many career guides, so I found it quite useful. There are also several valualbe appendices, including websites to find jobs and a list of the 100 largest nonprofits in the US. All around, I think this is a wonderful resource for people contemplating a career in the nonprofit sector.

some useful guidance
The book offers a convenient survey across the entire nonprofit sector. Explaining what jobs are typically available, and the skills and experience needed. It is written mostly for those with no or little experience. Possibly for students in high school or university contemplating a career choice.

The fields covered are quite varied. And the chapters have links to useful websites with more information.
