[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at non profits and NGO- grant writer, fundraising, etc.  relief web has roles from all over.

Higher education- again fundraising/ development/ communications.  Sometimes they have roles just for writing.

Diversify applications explain since you are starting in a new career I don’t know what your previous title was but maybe look at Specialist, Coordinator, and Manager or possibly Assistant Director.  In Higher ed usually Director and above roles are when people have previously worked in higher ed and then move up. [/quote]

This is OP - and not sure if this post was directed at me, but I am a director now at a mid-size nonprofit. This is my second director level position; last one was a small nonprofit. I'm too old to be a specialist or coordinator, unless I am moving into a whole new field. I just don't know what that field would be at this point.

I've never done grant writing but it seems like it'd be a good skill to develop. Like if I learned how to do that, I could probably pick up a bunch of freelance clients to write grants for, right - if I had to go hang a shingle again?

I appreciate all the ideas and thoughts in this thread. Def not looking forward to starting a job search, but I always like hearing what other people with my basic skill set and experience are doing - it's inspiring and thought provoking.[/quote]
