[quote=Anonymous]I hire a lot of execs at nonprofits. I think you likely won’t go from a part time role to an ED role right away- apply if you want but I would expand your search to full-time Director/VP level positions, reporting to an ED/CEO. Also- are you cold applying? You should be working with search firms. Finally- I think a brief explanation in a cover letter is helpful- “For personal reasons I took part-time positions for the last few years, I worked on my skills on these areas/produced these results. Now looking for a full-time position, etc”. Don’t put it all out there but acknowledge it for sure. One more, sorry- this is a very good job market but still tight for the top. So you need to be patient. Takes at least six months in most cases to land something.[/quote]
